  • Publication number: 20030006937
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus is constituted by first, second, third, and fourth wire antenna elements and a connection element. The sum of the lengths of the first, second, and fourth wire antenna elements is ¼ the wavelength corresponding to a series-resonance frequency of the first, second, and fourth wire antenna elements. The sum of the lengths of the second, third, and fourth wire antenna elements is ½ the wavelength corresponding to a parallel-resonance frequency of the second, third, and fourth wire antenna elements. The sum of the lengths of the first and third wire antenna elements is ¼ the wavelength corresponding to a series-resonance frequency of the first and third wire antenna elements. The parallel-resonance frequency is higher than the series-resonance frequency of the first, second, and fourth wire antenna elements and lower than the series-resonance frequency of the first and third wire antenna elements.

  • Patent number: 6388627
    Abstract: An information processor includes a display case having a display panel therein. A antenna is disposed in an upper end of the display case opposite a hinge mechanism connecting the display case to a main body. The display case is movable between an open and a closed position. The antenna has radiation characteristics that provide reception and transmission capability when the display case is either in the open or closed position.

  • Publication number: 20020032009
    Abstract: In a radio apparatus, the band of a loop filter of a synthesizer in a blank channel searching state is narrower than the band in a communicating state. In addition, a radio wave environment is measured. A characteristic necessary for the radio apparatus is determined corresponding to the measured radio wave environment. The power is controlled corresponding to the performance of the radio apparatus. Thus, the power consumption is decreased. In addition, the efficiency of the output power is improved. In the radio apparatus, the current consumption of a power amplifier PA is measured. A matching circuit (LNA or MIX) of the antenna is adjusted with the measured result so as to decrease an antenna loss. In the radio apparatus, a DC offset is removed from the transmitted power and the reflected wave. When the DC offset is removed using an AC coupling capacitor, the deterioration of the frequency characteristic of the receiving portion is compensated with a capacitor in a digital signal process.

  • Patent number: 6346916
    Abstract: Antenna apparatus is comprised of dipole antenna arranged proximate to a surface of metal housing including radio device circuit and having two quarter wavelength elements having opposite end portions being feed points, short-circuit element short-circuiting the quarter wavelength elements, and coaxial feed line having outer conductor and central conductor having one ends connected to the feed points, respectively, and connecting the feed points to radio device circuit. The coaxial feed line is arranged along part of the quarter wavelength element and part of the short-circuit element and branched from central portion of the short-circuit element. The outer conductor is electrically connected to part of the quarter wavelength element and part of the short-circuit element. Currents leaked onto the feed line and flowing through the two quarter wavelength elements are also divided to the short-circuit element.
