Abstract
An antenna comprising an IMD element and one or more parasitic and active tuning elements is disclosed. The IMD element, when used in combination with the active tuning and parasitic elements, allows antenna operation at multiple resonant frequencies. In addition, the direction of antenna radiation pattern may be arbitrarily rotated in accordance with the parasitic and active tuning elements. Unique antenna architectures for beam steering in Wi-Fi band applications is further described.
Claims10
An Wifi antenna assembly comprising:
- a substrate
- a ground plane;
- an antenna radiating element extending from the ground plane;
- a parasitic element extending from the ground plane;
- an active component disposed between the parasitic element and the ground plane;
- and
- a reactance component coupled between a first portion of the parasitic element and a second portion of the parasitic element.
