Abstract

An antenna device for a wireless device has a transmitter and an antenna. The first connecting end of the transmiter is connected to the first end of the antenna, and the second connecting end of the transmitter is connected to the second end of the antenna. As a result, the antenna device can be formed as a loop and generates a magnetic field for remotely coupling the wireless device to other devices which can receive the signal emitted from the wireless device.

Claims

1. A wireless keyboard, comprising:

a transmitter having a first connecting end and a second connecting end; and

an antenna having a first end connected to the first connecting end, and a second end connected to the second connecting end, in a manner to form a loop.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the transmitter has a third connecting end, and further including a noise blocker coupled to the third connecting end.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the keyboard has a periphery, and wherein the antenna is provided along the periphery of the keyboard.

4. A mainframe for a personal computer, comprising:

a transmitter having a first connecting end and a second connecting end; and

an antenna having a first end connected to the first connecting end, and a second end connected to the second connecting end, in a manner to form a loop.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the transmitter has a third connecting end, and further including a noise blocker coupled to the third connecting end.

6. The device of claim 4, wherein the mainframe has a front panel having an inner surface, and wherein the antenna is positioned on the inner surface of the front panel.

7. A wireless keyboard, comprising:

a PCB;

a transmitter coupled to the PCB and having a first connecting end and a second connecting end; and

an antenna having a first end connected to the first connecting end, and a second end connected to the second connecting end, in a manner to form an antenna loop that extends away from the PCB.

8. The device of claim 7, wherein the PCB has four sides that define a combined length, and wherein the antenna loop has a length that is greater than the combined length.

9. The device of claim 7, wherein the keyboard has a periphery, and wherein the antenna is provided along the periphery of the keyboard.

10. A display device, comprising:

a transmitter having a first connecting end and a second connecting end; and

an antenna having a first end connected to the first connecting end, and a second end connected to the second connecting end, in a manner to form a loop.
