First Claim
Patent Images
1. A docking station comprising:
- a docking surface;
a first antenna coupler placed on to the docking surface, wherein the antenna coupler overlaps with a second antenna coupler of another device during a wireless communication, said first antenna coupler placed on the docking surface comprises parallel microstrip lines that are perpendicular with said second antenna coupler of another device when said antenna couplers are offset with each other in a horizontal or a vertical (x-y) direction, wherein an electrical distance between the parallel microstrip lines is kept at an odd integer multiple of ninety degrees and the parallel microstrip lines are fed at opposite feeding locations.
