IMPROVED ANTENNA FOR MINIATURE WIRELESS DEVICES AND IMPROVED WIRELESS EARPHONES SUPPORTED ENTIRELY BY THE EAR CANAL

摘要

Certain embodiments of the present technology provide wireless earphone systems that include earphones configured to be supported entirely by the ear canals of the wearer and to provide stereophonic reproduction of sound to the wearer based on a two-channel stereophonic signal from a transceiver that is attachable to a device. Certain embodiments of the present technology provide wireless earphone systems that include earphones configured such that channel reception can be switched between the earphones. Certain embodiments of the present technology provide wireless earphone systems that include an earphone that includes: a housing; a ground plane comprising circuitry; and a multi-segmented antenna configured to receive a signal from a transceiver, wherein the antenna and the ground plane are disposed within the housing, wherein the antenna is substantially parallel to the ground plane, and wherein the antenna and the ground plane are separated by a distance.
