COUPLED ANTENNA STRUCTURE AND METHODS

摘要

Antenna apparatus and methods of use and tuning. In one exemplary embodiment, the solution of the present disclosure is particularly adapted for small form-factor, metal-encased applications that utilize satellite wireless links (e.g., GPS), and uses an electromagnetic (e.g., capacitive) feeding method that includes one or more separate feed elements that are not galvanically connected to a radiator element of the antenna. In addition, certain implementations of the antenna apparatus offer the capability to carry more than one operating band for the antenna.

主权项

1. A coupled antenna apparatus, comprising:
a first radiator element comprising a conductive ring-like structure; wherein the conductive ring-like structure comprises one or more protruding conductive portions that are configured to optimize one or more operating parameters of the coupled antenna apparatus.
