| 20080231530 | DUAL-BAND F-SLOT PATCH ANTENNA - A dual-band antenna includes a planar conductive layer comprising a conductive region and a central non-conductive region. The conductive region and the non-conductive region together define a pair of interconnected F-slot structures, and a loop strip structure coupled to and disposed around the F-slot patch slot antenna structures. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080231531 | ANTENNA APPARATUS, AND ASSOCIATED METHODOLOGY, FOR A MULTI-BAND RADIO DEVICE - Antenna apparatus, and an associated methodology, for a multi-frequency-band-capable radio device, such as a quad-band mobile station. The antenna apparatus forms a hybrid strip antenna having a pair of resonant elements. A first resonant element forms a peripheral loop extending about the periphery of a substrate. A meander line extends along a portion of the peripheral loop. And, second resonant element is formed of an L-shaped strip. The peripheral loop is resonant at a set of frequencies, and the L-shaped strip is resonant at a single frequency. Through appropriate selection of the lengths of the resonant elements, the frequencies at which the elements are resonant are controlled. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080258989 | SLOT-LOADED MICROSTRIP ANTENNA AND RELATED METHODS - A microstrip antenna may include an electrically conductive ground plane layer, a dielectric layer adjacent the electrically conductive ground plane layer, and an electrically conductive patch layer adjacent the dielectric layer on a side thereof opposite the electrically conducive ground plane layer. The electrically conductive patch layer may be electrically floating with respect to the electrically conductive ground plane layer and may comprise a body portion and a feed strip extending outwardly from an interior medial portion of the body portion. The feed strip may have opposing first and second sides and an end electrically connected to the body portion. The body portion may have spaced apart first and second slots adjacent respective ones of the first and second opposite sides of the feed strip, and a third slot adjacent the end of the feed strip and spaced from the first and second slots. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090051595 | MULTI-BAND ANTENNA, AND ASSOCIATED METHODOLOGY, FOR A RADIO COMMUNICATION DEVICE - An antenna, and an associated methodology, for a portable radio device, such as a mobile station capable of operation at a plurality of frequency bands spread across a wide range of frequencies. The antenna includes a first antenna patch and a second antenna patch. The first antenna patch comprises an L-shaped patch disposed upon a substrate. A second antenna patch forms a folded patch formed of three contiguous portions, folded about fold lines in a manner to cause the second antenna patch to include a first contiguous portion that extends upwardly beyond the first antenna patch at an angle perpendicular thereto. Second and third contiguous portions are formed by folding additional portions of the second antenna patch about additional fold lines. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090051597 | ANTENNA, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR A MULTI-BAND RADIO DEVICE - Antenna apparatus, and an associated method, for a mobile station, or other radio device. A folded conducting strip is formed upon multiple sides of a cube-shaped, or other three-dimensional substrate of small dimensions. The conducting strip exhibits resonance at multiple frequencies, such as at frequencies encompassing the 800/900/1800/1900/2200 MHz frequencies. Because of the positioning of the conducting strip upon the multiple sides of the substrate, a conducting strip of increase length is provided while permitting the dimensional requirements of the antenna structure to be small. Multiple antennas are able to be positioned at the radio device to provide for multiple-input, multiple-output radio operation. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20100097274 | THREE-FOLD POLARIZATION DIVERSITY ANTENNA - A three-fold polarization diversity antenna comprises a slot-loaded patch, and a radiation member that is electromagnetically coupled to the slot-loaded patch. The radiation member extends through a plane of the slot-loaded patch. | 04-22-2010 |

The antenna assembly includes a substrate with a ground layer at its surface. Two antennas are disposed opposing each other on the substrate. An isolation element in a form of a patterned slot is interposed between the first and second antennas on the ground plane. A first signal port is provided for applying a first signal to excite the first antenna and a second signal port is provided for applying a second signal to excite the second antenna. The isolation element provides isolation that inhibits electromagnetic propagation between the two antennas. | 09-23-2010 |
