ANTENNA CONFIGURATION WITH A COUPLER ELEMENT FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An antenna system comprising:
- a first antenna element, located within a first antenna volume of a body, configured to operate at a first resonant frequency range;
a second antenna element, located within a second antenna volume of the body that is adjacent to the first antenna element and the first antenna volume, configured to operate at a second resonant frequency range that is a subset of the first resonant frequency range; and
an indirect coupler configured to indirectly couple the first antenna element with a feed signal component for transmitting and receiving communications.

Abstract
A first antenna element is indirectly coupled to communication signals via a coupler that is located within a same volume of a body. A second antenna element is proximate to and adjacent the first antenna element. The first antenna element is configured to operate in a first frequency range and the second antenna element is configured to operate within a subset of the first frequency range concurrent with or simultaneously to the first antenna element. The coupler can operate to couple multiple antenna elements operating at different frequencies within the same volume of the body.

11. A mobile device comprising:
-
a first antenna port, located at a first antenna volume, configured to communicate at a first frequency range in response to a first antenna element coupled thereto; a second antenna port, located at the first antenna volume or a second antenna volume that is adjacent to the first antenna volume, configured to communicate at a second frequency range that is a subset of the first frequency range in response to a second antenna element coupled thereto; and a coupler located within the first antenna volume and configured to indirectly communicatively couple communication signals to the first antenna port; wherein the second antenna port and the first antenna port are further configured to concurrently transmit or receive different communications within the first frequency range. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
