Abstract: An antenna element forms a ring slot antenna comprising a first slot and second slot. The antenna element is located on a first surface of a conductive chassis that encases a body or a volume for wireless communication signals to be received or transmitted. A coupling component is located on an opposite side of the conductive chassis and behind the antenna element. The coupling component facilitates a coupling between a communication component and the antenna element as a function of the orientation and geometric shape of the coupling component to facilitate different resonant frequencies via the first and second slots of the antenna element.

The first and second coil antennas are independent antennas prior to cascading and are located in different surfaces of the device to establish near field coupling through front side, top side, bottom side, or corner side of the portable device. Furthermore, a flux guide may be placed in the cascaded coil antenna to facilitate magnetic flux at the first coil antenna and the second coil antenna to induce current of the same phase during receive mode. During transmit mode, the flux guide facilitates the magnetic flux at the first coil antenna and the second coil antenna to generate magnetic fields of the same direction.
