A communications terminal includes a mainboard, a conductor bezel, a first conductor part, and a second conductor part, where a first location on the conductor bezel is electrically connected to a ground terminal on the mainboard, a second location on the conductor bezel is electrically connected to a ground terminal on the mainboard, the second conductor part is electrically connected to a fourth location on the conductor bezel, and a radio frequency port on the mainboard is electrically connected to a third location on the conductor bezel using the first conductor part; and the fourth location and the third location on the conductor bezel are between the first location and the second location. The communications terminal is conducive to reducing antenna assembly complexity and reducing manufacturing costs.

A wire-patch antenna includes a ground plane; a capacitive roof placed facing the ground plane at a predetermined distance of separation; a probe feed; at least one electrically conductive short-circuiting wire linking the capacitive roof and the ground plane, the short-circuiting wire being intended to excite a first resonant mode at a first resonant wavelength; and at least one electrically conductive impedance-matching wire linking the conductive short-circuiting wire and the probe feed so as to create a parasitic inductor.

An antenna assembly according to an implementation includes a dielectric substrate, a radiator region formed as conductive patterns on the dielectric substrate to radiate a radio signal, a feeding line to apply a signal on the same plane as the conductive patterns of the radiator region, a first ground region disposed at one side surface of the radiator region at one side of the feeding line and also disposed at an upper side of the radiator region in one axial direction, to radiator a signal of a first band, and a second ground region disposed at a lower side of the radiator region in the one axial direction at another side of the feeding line, to radiator a signal of a third band, wherein the radiator region radiates a signal of a second band.

A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity antenna is described that enables dual frequency and broadband operation, as well as enhanced protection from radio frequency interference (RFI) that may be present within an electronic device environment. The SIW cavity antenna includes a capacitively-coupled feed that is disposed within the volume of the SIW cavity antenna, which is enclosed on four sides via a set of electrically-conductive plates. The SIW cavity antenna radiates using the remaining two open sides as apertures. The SIW cavity antenna may include a meander line radiator to facilitate the operation of a second frequency band, as well as the use of a tuning stub to further enhance the impedance bandwidth.

An electronic device may be provided with a cover layer and a phased antenna array mounted against the cover layer. Each antenna in the array may include a first patch element that is directly fed using first and second feeds and a second patch element that is directly fed using third and fourth feeds. A slot element may be formed in the first patch element. The first patch element may radiate in a first frequency band through the cover layer. The slot element may radiate in a second frequency band that is higher than the first frequency band through the cover layer. The second patch element may indirectly feed the slot element. Locating the radiating elements for each frequency band in the same plane may allow the antenna to radiate through the cover layer in both frequency bands with satisfactory antenna efficiency.

An approximately planar antenna assembly can be formed or used, such as comprising a printed circuit board assembly. In an example, the approximately planar antenna assembly can include a dielectric material and a conductive loop comprising an outer loop portion having a first conic section an inner loop portion having a second conic section located within a footprint of the first conic section. The planar antenna assembly can be configured to support wireless transfer of information in at least two ranges of operating frequencies, such as two or more respective ranges used for cellular communications.
