Patent number: 10879586Abstract: Techniques for utilization of antenna loading for impedance matching are described. In at least some embodiments, a device (e.g., a smart phone) includes multiple antennas that are employed to send and receive wireless signals for the device. The device further includes impedance matching functionality communicatively connected to the antennas, and configured to perform impedance matching for one of the antennas based on loading (e.g., dielectric loading) of another of the antennas.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Alireza Mahanfar, Javier Rodriguez De Luis, Stanley Yu Tao Ng, Benjamin J. Shewan, Kim Willi Schulze

Publication number: 20130285863Abstract: Reconfigurable multi-band antenna techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus includes an antenna that can operate at multiple frequency bands that include first and second frequency bands, respectively. The antenna includes a first radiator structure configured to tune to the first frequency band and comprising a first radiator element. In addition, the antenna includes a second radiator structure configured to tune to the second frequency band and comprising the first radiator element and a second radiator element. The antenna also includes a tunable circuit configured to couple the first radiator element to the second radiator element. Additionally, the apparatus includes a communication module configured to use the tunable circuit to adjust one of said first and second frequency bands independently from, and without causing a change in, the other of said first and second frequency bands.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Javier Rodriguez De Luis, Alireza Mahanfar, Benjamin J.

Publication number: 20130265117Abstract: A cable is disclosed for transmitting high speed digital baseband signals together with analog RF signals between first and second components. The RF signals may be transmitted between an antenna in the first component and an RF transceiver in the second component at operating frequencies such as for example 70 MHz to 6 GHz. In order to reduce cross-talk between the digital and analog lines, the analog signal may be carried over a line including a pair of wires such as a differential signal pair. The pair of wires carrying the analog signal may include baluns at either end to enable delivery over the pair of wires. The baluns may be wideband baluns to support communication over the full range of operating frequencies. In order to further reduce cross-talk, the digital and/or analog lines may be encased within an EMI-absorbing jacket made of extruded ferrite as one example.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2012Publication date: October 10, 2013Inventors: Stanley Yu Tao Ng, Alireza Mahanfar, Kim Schulze
