MULTIBAND ANTENNA
A multiband antenna has a conductor main portion, a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The conductor main portion is long in a first direction and extends in a horizontal plane defined by the first direction and a second direction. The conductor main portion has a first long edge and a second long edge at both ends thereof in the second direction, respectively. The conductor main portion is formed with a slot and an opening portion. The slot is long in the first direction. The opening portion is provided in the first long edge and connects the slot with an outside of the conductor main portion. The first ground terminal and the second ground terminal extend from the second long edge. The first ground terminal and the second ground terminal are connected to a host conductor when the multiband antenna is used.
MULTIBAND ANTENNA BOOSTER ARCHITECTURE WITH A SINGLE SWITCH
A wireless device operates in a plurality of frequency bands and/or frequency regions and comprises a radiating system having an RF transceiver, a booster element, a radiation booster, or a modular multi-stage element; a ground plane layer on a PCB, an external port connected to the RF transceiver, and a multiband and/or multi-region radiofrequency system that comprises a switch. The radiating system also comprises a feeding architecture that connects the antenna element or the booster element to the radiofrequency system, the feeding architecture comprising a feeding line connected to a booster or antenna element and at least two feeding line extensions that are connected to a switch of the radiofrequency system and to the feeding line. A multi-region radiofrequency system comprises a switch and at least two matching networks selectable through the switch, the at least two matching networks including two stages: a pre-matching stage and a common matching stage.
SIMULTANEOUS MULTI-POLARIZATION RECEIVING WITH CROSS-POLARIZATION INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION
Techniques described herein provide cancelation of cross-polarization interference during simultaneous receipt of radiofrequency signals (e.g., an X-signal and a Y-signal) in a same frequency channel in nominally orthogonal polarizations. Though nominally orthogonally polarized, each signal contributes some cross-polarization interference to the other. Embodiments receive and demodulate each signal by a corresponding demodulator to generate corresponding X-symbol and Y-symbol decision signals, referenced to a common clock domain. An X-channel adaptive canceler (X-CAC) generates an X-output signal by using one or more Y-symbol decision signals adaptively to cancel cross-polarization interference from the Y-signal, and a Y-CAC generates a Y-output signal by using one or more X-symbol decision signals adaptively to cancel cross-polarization interference from the X-signal (e.g., the X-CAC and the Y-CAC each using a first-order least mean squares control loop). The resulting X-output signal and Y-output signal can be further decoded and output by the receiver to downstream systems and/or components.
Electronic devices having antennas for covering multiple frequency bands
An electronic device may have a first conductive sidewall at an upper end, a second conductive sidewall at a lower end, and a conductive rear wall. First and second antennas may be formed at the upper end and may include slots with edges defined by the first sidewall and the rear wall. Third, fourth, fifth, and sixth antennas may be formed at the lower end and may include slots with edges defined by the second sidewall and the rear wall. Each antenna may cover multiple frequency bands. First order and third order modes of the slots may contribute to the frequency responses of the third through sixth antennas. A display controller may be mounted at the lower end and may impose a lower limit on the frequencies covered by the third through sixth antennas. The first and second antennas may cover lower frequencies than the third through sixth antennas.
