WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE ANTENNA FOR IMPROVED COMMUNICATION WITH A SATELLITE

摘要

A wireless communication device includes a mobile wireless communication signal creation and reception circuit (310) coupled to a resonator (320) capable of sending and/or receiving wireless communication signals. A parasitic element (340) is coupled to the resonator (320) in an approximately orthogonal arrangement such that the parasitic element (340) and the resonator (320) resonate together to send and/or receive a wireless communication signal. Preferably, the parasitic element (340) and resonator (320) are contained within a housing (520) of a wireless communication device handset (500) to provide improved communications with a satellite (700).
