Coupled multi-bands antennas in wearable wireless devices

A wearable wireless device is disclosed. In one embodiment the wearable wireless device includes a circuit board, a housing body housing the circuit board, the housing body having a front side and a back side, a display located at the front side of the housing body, a first antenna element electrically connected to the circuit board and located on the front side of the housing body and a second antenna element electrically connected to the circuit board and located on the front side of the housing body.

SENSOR DEVICE AND WEARABLE DEVICE

According to one embodiment, a sensor device to be used with a wearable electronic device including a smart terminal device and a band that enables the smart terminal to be worn on a forearm of a user has a first end portion that is nearer the hand of the user when worn on the forearm of the user, a second end portion that is nearer the elbow of the user when worn, and an attachment portion that is configured to connect the sensor to the band. The attachment portion is offset from a midpoint between the first end portion and the second end portion along a direction along the forearm from the elbow to the hand towards the first end portion.

Electronic timepiece

An embodiment of an electronic timepiece includes a cylindrical exterior case, a bezel and a windshield member. In the exterior case, a circuit board is housed. The bezel is formed of a metal material to be ring-shaped, includes an inward flange part that projects from an inner side surface toward a center of the ring-shaped bezel, is arranged on an outer upper side of the exterior case and is electrically connected with the circuit board. The windshield member is formed of a transparent dielectric substance, arranged in the bezel and supported by the inward flange part. The bezel is configured to resonate with a radio wave having a desired frequency by adjustment of at least one of (i) a relative permittivity of the dielectric substance and (ii) an area of an overlap region where the inward flange part and the windshield member overlap each other.

20220283551 · 2022-09-08 ·

A wrist-worn electronic device comprises a bezel, an antenna, and an aperture tuning network. The bezel is formed at least partially from electrically conductive material and positioned along a side wall of a housing of the device. The antenna includes a first aperture and a second aperture which are formed by various portions of the bezel. The antenna is configured to operate in one of two operating modes including a dual band mode in which the first aperture receives a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) wireless signal at a first frequency band and the second aperture receives a second GNSS wireless signal at a second frequency band, and a single band mode in which the first aperture and the second aperture each receive the first GNSS wireless signal. The aperture tuning network has an adjustable configuration wherein adjustment of the adjustable configuration changes the operating mode of the antenna.
