Antenna device and electronic device having the same
Disclosed are an antenna device and an electronic device that includes the antenna device. The antenna device includes a power feeding unit, a ground unit, a radiating unit that is electrically connected to the power feeding unit, and a switching element that selects one or more points from a plurality of different points of the ground unit and connects the radiating unit to the selected one or more points.
Autotune mobile antenna
An automatically tunable mobile antenna is provided with toroidal inductors connected in series between the antenna feed point and a whip and a shunt inductor to ground at the RF input, with the inductors forming an L network impedance matching circuit having values which are in a binary sequence and which are selectively added to impedance match the whip to the output impedance of a transmitter.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA
An electronic device includes an antenna including a ground part, a feeding part, and a radiator and a first switch interposed between the feeding part and the radiator. A signal supplied through the feeding part is transmitted through a first path, a second path, or a third path that connects the feeding part to the radiator. The first switch is configured to change a connection state of the second path and the third path, and the third path includes a variable capacitor.
SINGLE FEED-IN DUAL-BAND ANTENNA STRUCTURE
A single feed-in dual-band antenna structure includes a first radiation unit, a basal plate and a plurality of matching components. The basal plate includes a front side, a back side and an edge side. A first ground unit, a signal feed-in unit, a second radiation unit and an electrode part are arranged on the front side. A third radiation unit is arranged on the edge side. A second ground unit is arranged on the back side of the basal plate. The first radiation unit is electrically connected to the electrode part. The first radiation unit is adjusted to control the 2.45 GHZ frequency range impedance, resonant frequency, bandwidth and radiation effect. The third radiation unit frequency wave length controls the 5 GHZ frequency range to achieve the predetermined target impedance, resonant frequency, bandwidth and radiation efficiency. The antenna size can be reduced effectively.
ACTIVE UHF/VHF ANTENNA
An active antenna for UHF/VHF signal receiving is described, the active antenna being capable of configuration in one of a plurality of possible modes. The active antenna includes an antenna element configured for multiple resonances in the UHF/VHF bands, and capable of generating multiple radiation modes as well as active impedance matching using a microprocessor and multi-port switch having variable or multiple selectable modes. The active antenna may include a second antenna element arranged in a right-angle orientation with respect to the first antenna element. The first antenna element, second antenna element, or a combination may be selected for receiving signals in at a desired frequency. A three-dimensional antenna assembly is also described. Each of the examples illustrate an active beam steering antenna capable of UHF/VHF signal receiving.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING AN ANTENNA
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first plate, a second plate facing the first plate, and a side member surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate and a circuit board, which is accommodated inside a housing and in which a wireless communication circuit is disposed. The second plate includes a slot filled with a non-conductive material. An area other than the slot is formed of a conductive material. The circuit board includes a conductive pattern formed on the circuit board along with the slot of the second plate, and the wireless communication circuit is configured to feed one point of the second plate adjacent to the slot to receive a signal of a first frequency band through an electrical path formed by the slot and to feed the conductive pattern to receive a signal of a second frequency band through the slot.
CONFIGURABLE ANTENNA ARRAY WITH DIVERSE POLARIZATIONS
A radio frequency (RF) antenna unit that includes a first antenna and a second antenna. The first antenna is positioned on a reflector element, and includes at least three inverted-F antenna (IFAs) elements that are electrically connected to a first RF signal port and that each have an associated tunable element that controls excitation of the IFA element, the tunable elements being operative to control a polarization direction of the first antenna. The second antenna is co-located on the reflector element with the first antenna, and includes a plurality of antenna elements.
Switch assembly with integrated tuning capability
A multiport RF switch assembly with integrated impedance tuning capability is described that provides a single RFIC solution to switch between transmit and receive paths in a communication system. Dynamic tuning is integrated into each switch sub-assembly to provide the capability to impedance match antennas or other components connected to the multiport switch. The tuning function at the switch can be used to shape the antenna response to provide better filtering at the switch/RF front-end (RFFE) interface to allow for reduced filtering requirements in the RFFE. Memory is designed into the multiport switch assembly, allowing for a look-up table or other data to reside with the switch and tuning circuit. The resident memory will result in easier integration of the tunable switch assembly into communication systems.
