ANTENNA SURROUNDED BY METAL HOUSING

摘要

An antenna system includes a metal housing including a first edge and a second edge that meet at a corner and a slot located proximate the second edge that extends from the first edge parallel to the second edge defining a strip and an antenna located behind and in close proximity to the strip. The antenna is coupled to the strip. A parasitic element is located proximate the antenna and the strip includes a ground coupling that crosses the slot in spaced relation thereto. The parasitic element assists in establishing second and third higher frequency modes of the antenna system.
