Abstract

A wireless transceiver is provided. The wireless transceiver includes an antenna unit, a connection port and an integrated circuit. The antenna unit detects an electromagnetic signal in the space. The connection port provides a connective path to a transmission line. The integrated circuit is coupled to the antenna unit and the connection port. The integrated circuit receives the electromagnetic signal through the antenna unit. When the transmission line is coupled to the connection port, the integrated circuit enhances and restores the electromagnetic signal through an auxiliary electromagnetic signal received by the transmission line.

Claims

1. A wireless transceiver, comprising:

an antenna unit, for detecting an electromagnetic signal in the space;

a connection port, for providing a connective path to a transmission line; and

an integrated circuit, coupled to the antenna unit and the connection port, receiving the electromagnetic signal through the antenna, wherein when the transmission line is coupled to the connection port, the integrated circuit enhances and restores the electromagnetic signal through an auxiliary electromagnetic signal received by the transmission line.

2. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a housing, for covering the integrated circuit, the antenna unit and the partial surface of the connection port.

3. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 2, further comprising:

a screen, disposed on the surface of the housing and coupled to the integrated circuit, for displaying information of the wireless transceiver; and

a control key, disposed on the surface of the housing and coupled to the integrated circuit, for operating the wireless transceiver.

4. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 3, wherein the control key comprises at least a button and/or at least a jog dial.

5. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 2, wherein the antenna unit comprises a meander line antenna, a loop antenna, a inverted L antenna or a planar inverted F antenna.

6. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a housing, for covering the integrated circuit and the partial surface of the connection port, wherein the antenna unit is disposed on the surface of the housing.

7. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 6, further comprising:

a screen, disposed on the surface of the housing and coupled to the integrated circuit, for displaying information of the wireless transceiver; and

a control key, disposed on the surface of the housing and coupled to the integrated circuit, for operating the wireless transceiver.

8. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 7, wherein the control key comprises at least a button and/or at least a jog dial.

9. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 6, wherein the antenna unit comprises a helical antenna or a telescopic antenna.

10. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antenna unit further comprises:

an earphone, for detecting the electromagnetic signal through metal lines inside the earphone; and

an earphone socket, coupled to the integrated circuit and the earphone, wherein the integrated circuit receives the electromagnetic signal through the earphone.

11. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 10, further comprising:

a housing, for covering the integrated circuit and the partial surface of the connection port and the earphone socket.

12. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:

a screen, disposed on the surface of the housing and coupled to the integrated circuit, for displaying information of the wireless transceiver; and

a control key, disposed on the surface of the housing and coupled to the integrated circuit, for operating the wireless transceiver.

13. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 12, wherein the control key comprises at least a button and/or at least a jog dial.

14. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic signal comprises the TV signals bearing the standards of digital video broadcast-terrestrial and national television system committee.

15. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic signal comprises the RF signals bearing the standards of global system for mobile communications, General packet radio services, wideband code division multiple access, personal handy-phone system, Bluetooth, global positioning system, and wireless fidelity.

16. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection port comprises a universal serial bus or a charging slot.

17. The wireless transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the signal intensity of the auxiliary electromagnetic signal is different from that of the electromagnetic signal.
