  • ANTENNA GOOSENECK DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TO MITIGATE NEAR-FIELD EFFECTS OF CO-LOCALIZED ANTENNAS ON PORTABLE RADIO PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20240332790
    Abstract: A communication system comprising a radio device and a gooseneck device. The radio device may be coupled to a first antenna and a second antenna. A feedline gooseneck device may be coupled to the first antenna. The feedline gooseneck device may include a coaxial cable coupled between the mobile device and the first antenna and a ferrite element positioned along the coaxial cable. The ferrite element is configured to reduce EM interaction between the first and the second antenna. The ferrite element may be one of a plurality of ferrite elements and the feedline gooseneck device may further include a plurality of flexible elements positioned adjacent to each of the plurality of ferrite elements. The system allows for reduction of an amount of electromagnetic interference between the first antenna coupled to the gooseneck and the second antenna.
    Type: Application

The ferrite element may be one of a plurality of ferrite elements and the feedline gooseneck device may further include a plurality of flexible elements positioned adjacent to each of the plurality of ferrite elements. The ferrite element(s) may surround at least 60% of a length of the coaxial cable. The first antenna may be removably coupled to the gooseneck device. The system allows for reduction of an amount of electromagnetic interference between the first antenna coupled to the gooseneck and the second antenna.
