Abstract: Antennas and electronic devices using antennas are described herein. A mmWave antenna integrated module (AiM) may be disposed in a barrel hinge between the display and base portions of a laptop. An AiM module on the chassis of the laptop uses base station location and laptop location and orientation to rotate to provide mmWave communication. The chassis-mounted AiM module may be able to be magnetically attached and make electrical connection via pogo pins. A flexible printed circuit (FPC) and metal box may surround the AiM module to form an electromagnetic interference shield and thermal spreader. An identification system may be used to determine whether an antenna is compatible with a modem of the electronic device based on analog or digital signaling between the antenna side and modem side. An FPC may be disposed between portions of a bisected speaker box.

Abstract: A wireless communication device including a processor; a memory, coupled to the processor, to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: connect an antenna to an energy harvesting (EH) circuit, wherein the antenna is configured to capture a Wi-Fi radio frequency (RF) signal; send the Wi-Fi RF signal to the EH circuit; determine a RF signal strength of the Wi-Fi RF signal; and determine a location of the wireless communication device based on the RF signal strength.
