Abstract
Examples of an integrated slot antenna are described. The integrated slot antenna comprises a first slot, a second slot and a separating member. The first slot is an open-ended slot and is coupled to a first antenna member to form a first slot antenna. The first slot antenna operates in a first predetermined range of frequencies. The second slot is a close-ended slot and is separated from the first slot by the separating member.
Claims15
An integrated slot antenna for an electronic device comprising:
- a first slot in a metal body coupled to a first antenna member to form a first slot antenna, wherein the first slot antenna is to operate in a first predetermined range of frequencies, and wherein the first slot is an open-ended slot;
- and
- a second slot in the metal body separated from the first slot, wherein the second slot is a close-ended slot;
- and
- a separating member to separate the first slot and the second slot.
An electronic device comprising an integrated slot antenna, wherein the integrated slot antenna comprises:
- a first slot antenna to operate in a first predetermined range of frequencies, wherein the first slot antenna comprises a first antenna member coupled to an open-ended first slot in a metal body;
- a separating member disposed between the open-ended first slot and a close-ended second slot;
- and
- a second slot antenna to communicate in a second predetermined range of frequencies, wherein the second slot antenna comprises a second antenna member coupled to the close-ended second slot in the metal body.
A method of fabricating an integrated slot antenna comprising:
- etching a first slot on a metal body, the first slot being an open-ended slot;
- etching a separating member on the metal body;
- etching a second slot on the metal body, wherein the separating member separates the first slot and the second slot, and wherein the second slot is a close-ended slot;
- coupling a first antenna member on the first slot to form a first slot antenna, wherein the first slot antenna operates in a first predetermined range of frequencies;
- and
- coupling a second antenna member on the second slot to form a second slot antenna, wherein the second slot antenna operates in a second predetermined range of frequencies.
