An electronic device that communicates a packet or a frame is described. This electronic device includes: at least an antenna having an antenna radiation pattern; an interface circuit; and an antenna cover that includes an integrated static lens, where the antenna cover is selected from a set of antenna covers that includes different integrated static lenses. During operation, the interface circuit may transmit, from the antenna, wireless signals corresponding to the packet or the frame, where the integrated static lens modifies the antenna radiation pattern of the antenna. For example, the integrated static lens may cause the wireless signals to converge or diverge. Alternatively, the integrated static lens may change an angular elevation of the antenna radiation pattern and/or may provide a correction for pathloss as a function of angle. Note that the integrated static lens may be a stepwise approximation to a predefined function.

A package includes an upper level mounted to a lower level. The upper level includes a stack formed by insulating layers and conductive elements and includes a first conductive track of an antenna. A plastic element rests on the stack. A first cavity is defined in the plastic element. A second conductive track of the antenna is located on a wall of the plastic element (for example, in or adjacent to the first cavity). A second cavity is also defined in the plastic element surrounding the first cavity. A third conductive track of the antenna is located on a wall of the plastic element (for example, in the second cavity). A third cavity is delimited between the upper and lower levels and an integrated circuit chip is mounted within the third cavity and electrically connected to the antenna.

According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes a front cover; a rear cover facing away from the front cover; a side frame surrounding a space between the front cover and the rear cover and at least partially includes a first conductive portion; a first array antenna includes a first substrate disposed in the space and a plurality of first antenna elements disposed on the first substrate and configured to form a beam pattern toward the first conductive portion; and a wireless communication circuit configured to transmit and/or receive, via the first array antenna, a wireless signal in a first frequency range. The first conductive portion includes, in a portion corresponding to the first array antenna, a plurality of first slits provided to be spaced apart from each other and to have a length in a first direction perpendicular to a polarization of the first array antenna.

An antenna array device and an antenna unit thereof are provided. The antenna unit includes an antenna structure and a molding support. The antenna structure includes a substrate and a plurality of patches that are formed on the substrate. The substrate has a plurality of channel holes penetrating there-through. The molding support is integrally formed on the substrate as a single one-piece structure. The molding support has a first stand, a second stand, and a plurality of connection portions that are formed in the channel holes to connect the first stand and the second stand. The first stand and the second stand are formed on two sides of the substrate, respectively.

Base station antennas comprise a planar reflector, a radiating element mounted to extend forwardly from the planar reflector, the radiating element including a dipole that comprises an inner dipole arm and an outer dipole arm, and a radome having a front wall, a side wall and a curved front transition wall that connects the front wall to the side wall. A distal end of the outer dipole arm is closer to the planar reflector than is a base of the outer dipole arm, and an overlap portion of the outer dipole arm overlaps the curved front transition wall. A largest minimum distance between any point on a front surface of the overlap portion of the outer dipole arm and the radome is less than twice a smallest minimum distance between any point on the front surface of the overlap portion of the outer dipole arm and the radome.

An electronic device may include a housing, an antenna radiator disposed within the housing, a transceiver to connect to the antenna radiator, and a magnet disposed on the antenna radiator. When the magnet is aligned with a magnetic element of an input pen, the magnet may cause the antenna radiator to move proximate to a metal structure of the input pen such that the metal structure and the antenna radiator form an extended antenna.

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods employing a directional antenna with a single rotational degree of freedom and using multiple signal-quality measurements to define best orientation with respect to a remote communication point and to align the antenna along the highest-signal-quality path. This simplifies alignment upon installation and facilitates higher signal levels, resulting in more reliable communication and higher data throughput.
