20130057440 | Single-Sided Multi-band Antenna - Embodiments provide multi-band, compound loop antennas (multi-band antennas). Embodiments of the multi-band antennas produce signals at two or more frequency bands, with the two or more frequency bands capable of being adjusted and tuned independently of each other. Embodiments of a multi-band antenna are comprised of at least one electric field radiator and at least one monopole formed out of the magnetic loop. At a particular frequency, the at least one electric field radiator in combination with various portions of the magnetic loop resonate and radiate an electric field at a first frequency band. At yet another particular frequency, the at least one monopole in combination with various portions of the magnetic loop resonate and radiate an electric field at a second frequency band. The shape of the magnetic loop can be tuned to increase the radiation efficiency at particular frequency bands and enable the multi-band operation of antenna embodiments. | 03-07-2013 |

20130113666 | CAPACITIVELY COUPLED COMPOUND LOOP ANTENNA - A compound loop antenna (CPL) is described that includes a capacitively fed magnetic loop and/or a capacitively fed electric field radiator. Embodiments include single-band CPL antennas and multi-band CPL antennas. The CPL antennas have been reduced in physical size by capacitively feeding the loop and/or radiator. The embodiments include at least one e-field radiation element that is capacitively coupled or not capacitively coupled, at least one magnetic loop element that is capacitively coupled.

20140022142 | CIRCULAR POLARIZED COMPOUND LOOP ANTENNA - Embodiments provide single-sided and multi-layered circular polarized, self-contained, compound loop antennas (circular polarized CPL). Embodiments of the CPL antennas produce circular polarized signals by using two electric field radiators physically oriented orthogonal to each other, and by ensuring that the two electric field radiators are positioned such that an electrical delay between the two electric field radiators results in the two electric field radiators emitting their respective electric fields out of phase. Ensuring the proper electrical delay between the two electric field radiators also maintains high efficiency of the antenna and it improves the axial ratio of the antenna. | 01-23-2014 |
20150162660 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL COMPOUND LOOP ANTENNA - A three-dimensional compound loop antenna is provided, including a ground plane, a pair of horizontal conductive portions substantially horizontal relative to the ground plane, a feed line substantially vertical relative to the ground plane, and a vertical conductive portion coupling the pair of horizontal conductive portions to the ground plane. | 06-11-2015 |
20150249288 | COMPOUND COUPLING TO RE-RADIATING ANTENNA SOLUTION - Source radio frequency energy (RF) is coupled wirelessly, with no direct physical contact, between two compound loop (CPL) antennas across a variety of barriers such as plastic, human tissues, glass, and air. The compound coupling interface is highly efficient in transferring the RF energy from a source including one CPL antenna to a destination including a second CPL antenna. A re-radiating structure including a further CPL antenna or a different type of antenna may be connected on the destination side to completely physically isolate the source side from the destination side. When the destination coupling antenna is removed, the source coupling antenna may operate as an efficient radiator at the desired operating frequencies. Likewise, the destination coupling antenna may operate as an efficient radiator in the absence of the source coupling antenna. | 09-03-2015 |
20150295311 | ANTENNA SYSTEM USING CAPACITIVELY COUPLED COMPOUND LOOP ANTENNAS WITH ANTENNA ISOLATION PROVISION - An antenna system is provided, including a first antenna, a second antenna, a ground plane, and a resonant isolator coupled to the first and second antennas. Each of the antennas is configured to be a capacitively-coupled compound loop antenna, and the resonant isolator is configured to provide isolation between the two antennas at resonance. The two antennas may be symmetrical or asymmetrical and include a first element that emits a magnetic field and a second element that generates an electrical field that is orthogonal to the magnetic field. The radiating element of the second element may be capacitively coupled to the remainder of the second element. The resonate isolator may be comprised of a single conductive element or two conductive elements that are capacitively coupled. | 10-15-2015 |
