20120013518 | Antenna unit and electronic apparatus - An antenna unit includes a housing, a substrate, and an antenna. The housing includes a bottom wall, first and second side walls extending upward from the corresponding side edges of the bottom wall, a rear wall extending upward from the rear edge of the bottom wall, and an upper wall extending from the upper edge of the first side wall toward the second side wall leaving a gap between an edge of the upper wall and the second side wall. The substrate is fixed to the upper wall, and a part of the substrate projects from the edge of the upper wall to a position that is closer to the second side wall than is the edge of the upper wall. The antenna is fixed to the part of the substrate projecting from the edge of the upper wall such that a radio-wave emitting aperture of the antenna faces forward. | 01-19-2012 |
20120105294 | Cavity Antenna for an Electronic Device - A cavity antenna for an electronic device such as a portable computer is provided. The antenna may be formed from a conductive cavity and an antenna probe that serves as an antenna feed. The conductive cavity may have the shape of a folded rectangular cavity. A dielectric support structure may be used in forming the antenna cavity. A fin may protrude from one end of the dielectric support structure. The antenna probe may be formed from conductive structures mounted on the fin. An inverted-F antenna configuration or other antenna configuration may be used in forming the antenna probe. The electronic device may have a housing with conductive walls. When the cavity antenna mounted within an electronic device, a planar rectangular end face of the fin may protrude through a thin rectangular opening in the conductive walls to allow the antenna to operate without being blocked by the housing. | 05-03-2012 |
20130027264 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE AND HOUSING FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE - A housing for a wireless communications device includes a metal cover. An aperture is formed in the metal cover adjacent an antenna to limit interference with transmissions through the antenna, while providing structural strength to the housing. The opposing side of the housing is made from a material that allows transmission from the antenna with limited interference, thereby providing omni-directional transmissions. | 01-31-2013 |
20130207863 | ANTENNA SHIELD FOR AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - An implantable medical device includes a housing. An opening is present in the housing. The implantable medical device includes an antenna in the housing, where the antenna is located below the opening. The implantable medical device includes a cover coupled to edges of the housing defining the opening to close the opening. The cover enables passage of radio frequency signals at one or more communication frequencies to and from the antenna. The implantable medical device also includes an antenna shield positioned above the cover. The antenna shield reduces passage of radio frequency signals to and from at least a portion of the antenna during use. | 08-15-2013 |
20140266950 | DIRECTIVE, INSTANTANEOUS WIDE BANDWIDTH ANTENNA - A directive, instantaneous wide bandwidth antenna is disclosed. The antenna can include a ground plane having a recess with a tapered region accessible by an electromagnetic field via a radiating aperture at a forward end of the recess. The antenna can also include an elongate dielectric feed disposed in the recess. The dielectric feed can have a tapered portion proximate the tapered region to guide the electromagnetic field into the recess through the radiating aperture and influence pattern directivity. The antenna can further include a conductive plating disposed at least partially about the dielectric feed in a wedge configuration to influence pattern beam width. The conductive plating can have a taper to facilitate propagation of the electromagnetic field over a range of frequencies. The conductive plating can be disposed toward a rearward end of the recess relative to the radiating aperture. | 09-18-2014 |
20140300523 | Antenna Mounting System For Metallic Structures - An antenna mounting system includes a metal plate having a void formed therein and one or more continuous slots extending from the void to an edge of the metal plate. An antenna is mounted inside the void. | 10-09-2014 |
20140361945 | RADIO-FREQUENCY TRANSPARENT WINDOW - A patch for a device in an electronic housing including an aluminum layer having a threshold thickness, a non-conductive layer on a first side of the aluminum layer, and a radio-frequency (RF) transparent layer on a second side of the aluminum layer is provided. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including a patch as above is also provided, the method including determining a thickness of the aluminum layer adjacent to an anodized aluminum layer. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including coating an aluminum layer having a threshold thickness on a radio-frequency (RF) transparent layer to form an RF transparent laminate is also provided. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including removing a thickness of aluminum is also provided. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including disposing a mask on an aluminum substrate and anodizing the aluminum substrate to a selected thickness is also provided. | 12-11-2014 |
20160006114 | LOW-PROFILE ANTENNAS - Methods and systems are provided for low-profile or hidden antennas, and for installation and use of such antennas in particular locations, such as surfaces of roadways, pavements, walls, and/or ceilings. An example antenna system may comprise a ground conductor configured to provide a ground plane for the antenna system, where the ground conductor comprises a recess, a monocone arranged in the recess of the ground conductor, and a conductive coupling between the monocone and the ground conductor to ground the monocone. A geometrical configuration of one or more components of the antenna system may be selected adaptively to set (or select) one or more property of the antenna—e.g., resonance property of the antenna. | 01-07-2016 |
