Tunable parasitic resonators
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a printed circuit board having first and second sides and having a reference voltage conductor therein;
an antenna coupled to the first side of the printed circuit board; and
a parasitic resonator having first and second couplings to the second side of the printed circuit board so that the printed circuit board is between the antenna and the parasitic resonator, wherein the first coupling to the printed circuit board provides a first impedance between the parasitic resonator and the reference voltage conductor, and wherein the second coupling to the printed circuit board provides a second impedance between the resonator and the reference voltage conductor wherein the first and second impedances are different.

Abstract
A mobile terminal can include a printed circuit board with a reference voltage conductor, an antenna coupled to the first side of the printed circuit board, and a parasitic resonator coupled to the second side of the printed circuit board. More particularly, the parasitic resonator can be connected to the printed circuit board by first and second couplings, which provide first and second impedances, respectively, between the parasitic resonator and the reference voltage conductor. The impedances can be of different values, and can be provided by discrete impedance components. The resonant frequency of the parasitic resonator can be adjusted by altering the impedances of the first and second couplings.
