Modular multi-stage antenna system and component for wireless communications

Abstract

A wireless device comprises a radiating system that comprises: an antenna system, a ground plane, and a matching network. The antenna system comprises an antenna component including a first multi-section antenna component comprising two sections, each comprising a conductive element. The matching network connected to the antenna system for impedance matching to a first frequency range. The radiating system operates in a frequency range of operation including the first frequency range, the first frequency range comprising a first highest frequency and a first lowest frequency. The first antenna component has a maximum size larger than 1/30 times and smaller than ⅕ times a free-space wavelength corresponding to the lowest frequency of operation. The conductive elements in the different sections of the first antenna component are spaced apart from each other.
