Antennas in electronic devices
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a substrate including a die and an antenna feeding element having a wired connection to the die;
a chassis component comprising an antenna parasitic element, the chassis component disposed substantially proximate to the substrate to align the antenna parasitic element in a spaced relationship with the antenna feeding element, the antenna feeding element and the antenna parasitic element at least partially define a gap therebetween; and
an alignment element that detects misalignment between the antenna feeding element and the antenna parasitic element, the alignment element at least partially in the gap.

Abstract
In various embodiments, the disclosure describes systems and methods that can be use in connection with electronic devices (for example, mobile devices) and can include one or more a dies, first antenna elements/feeding elements electrically coupled to the die, and second antenna elements/parasitic elements disposed on at least a portion of the electronic device. In one embodiment, the parasitic elements can be disposed near the feeding element and in a spaced relationship over one or more gaps. Further the parasitic elements can be electrically coupled to the feeding element over the gap. In various embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods can be used to implement a Yagi-Uda antenna in an electronic device, for example, a mobile device.
