  • Patent number: 12230894
    Abstract: An antenna for an electronic device comprising of a metal-sheet antenna and an antenna feed connecting the metal-sheet antenna to a radio frequency (RF) printed circuit board (PCB). A screw configured to operate as a ground feed for the metal-sheet antenna and to provide mechanical support in the electronic device wherein the screw is further configured to provide radiation for additional bands for the antenna. The metal-sheet antenna supports a first band, and the screw supports a second band, based on dimensions of a screw boss, and a third band, based on a gap between the screw boss and the metal-sheet antenna.

  • Publication number: 20240313867
    Abstract: System and methods are provided for selecting reference units for calibration of OTA testing stations. Various embodiments include selecting a reference unit for over-the-air (OTA) testing, the selecting including responsive to conducting one or more tests for a plurality of test items on a plurality of units via an OTA testing station, collecting test result values for each of the plurality of test items; calculating a sum of all errors for each of the units, wherein the errors represent a deviation from an average result for each of the test items; determining a unit which exhibits a lowest sum value of all of the errors, wherein the unit is determined as a reference unit for calibrating the OTA testing station; and testing a wireless device with the reference unit.
