Antenna configurations for compact device wireless communication
First Claim
1. A diversity antenna system for use with a host device and configured to provide isolation from radiated self-noise by the host device and to minimize interactions between antenna elements of the diversity antenna system, the diversity antenna system comprising:
- a ground plane;
a main antenna coupled to the ground plane and having a common mode feed; and
a diversity antenna having first and second arms extending from the common-mode feed of the main antenna.

Abstract
A diversity antenna for use with a portable host device such as a laptop computer, for example as part of a PCMCIA card pluggable into the laptop computer to enable wireless computer by the laptop computer, includes a main antenna and a diversity antenna. Various configurations for these antennas are possible, including the use of a balanced dipole as the main antenna element and a split diversity antenna for the diversity antenna element. The diversity antenna provides high isolation between the antenna elements and isolation from interfering self-noise generated by the host device.
