A radio frequency antenna array uses lenses and RF elements, to provide ground-based coverage for cellular communication. The antenna array can include two spherical lenses, where each spherical lens has at least two associated RF elements. Each of the RF elements associated with a given lens produces an output beam with an output area. Each lens is positioned with the other lenses in a staggered arrangement. The antenna includes a control mechanism configured to enable a user to move the RF elements along their respective tracks, and automatically phase compensate the output beams produced by the RF elements based on the relative distance between the RF elements.

Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. The antenna structures may include conductive housing structures such as a peripheral conductive housing member. The antenna structures may be based on an inverted-F antenna resonating element or other types of antenna resonating element. An electronic device may have near field communications circuitry and non-near-field communications circuitry such as cellular telephone, satellite navigation system, or wireless local area network transceiver circuitry. Antenna structures may be configured to handle signals associated with the non-near-field communications circuitry. The antenna structures may also have portions that form a near field communications loop antenna for handling signals associated with the near field communications circuitry.

Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a dual-band inverted-F antenna of an electronic device are described. One device includes a single RF feed line coupled to a dual-band inverted-F antenna. The dual-band inverted-F antenna includes a RF feed coupled to the single RF feed line; a ground element; a first arm; a second arm; and a third arm coupled to the ground element. The RF feed is located at a point that is closer to the third arm than a first opening between a distal end of the first arm and the ground element. The second arm is located on an opposite side of the first arm than the ground element, forming a second opening between the second arm and the ground element and a third opening between the second arm and the first arm.

A multi-band radiating array includes a planar reflector, first radiating elements defining a first column on the planar reflector, second radiating elements defining a second column on the planar reflector alongside the first column, and third radiating elements interspersed between the second radiating elements in the second column. The first radiating elements have a first operating frequency range, the second radiating elements have a second operating frequency range that is lower than the first operating frequency range, and the third radiating elements have a third, narrowband operating frequency range that is higher than the second operating frequency range but lower than the first operating frequency range. Respective capacitors are coupled between elongated arm segments and an elongated stalk of the third radiating elements, and a common mode resonance of the third radiating elements is present in a lower frequency range than the second operating frequency range.

An antenna device for a vehicle includes an antenna element having a first main surface, a shielding plate having a second main surface facing the first main surface and wider than the first main surface, the shielding plate being located between the antenna element and a noise source in the vehicle, and an insulating member located between the first main surface and the second main surface to integrate the antenna element and the shielding plate.

A WIFI antenna, including: a dipole including a first radiator and a second radiator that are arranged opposite to and spaced apart from each other; a feeding port provided at adjacent ends of the first radiator and the second radiator; a balun structure including a first access portion, a second access portion provided opposite to the first access portion, and an intermediate portion connecting the first access portion with the second access portion, and the intermediate portion having an annular structure; the first access portion of the balun structure is connected to the first radiator at the feeding port, and the second access portion is connected to the second radiator at the feeding port.
