Abstract
Various embodiments of an internal multi-band antenna architecture for a mobile computing device are described. An internal antenna architecture for a mobile computing device may include multiple antenna elements, including a first internal antenna element configured to operate in a downlink frequency sub-band of at least one frequency band for communication in a first mode, and a second internal antenna element configured to operate in an uplink frequency sub-band of the at least one frequency band for communication in the first mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims30
A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a housing to encapsulate components of the mobile computing device;
- a first internal antenna element disposed on the housing arranged to operate in at least one downlink frequency sub-band of an upper frequency band from a set of frequency bands for communication in a first mode;
- and
- a second internal antenna element disposed on the housing arranged to operate in an uplink frequency sub-band of the upper frequency band for communication in the first mode.
A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a first internal antenna element configured to operate in a downlink frequency sub-band of at least one frequency band for communication in a first mode;
- and
- a second internal antenna element configured to operate in an uplink frequency sub-band of the at least one frequency band for communication in the first mode.
A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a first internal antenna element configured to operate in a downlink frequency sub-band of an upper frequency band for communication in a first mode;
- a second internal antenna element configured to operate in an uplink frequency sub-band of the upper frequency band for communication in the first mode;
- a transceiver to couple to the first internal antenna element;
- a switchplexer to couple to the second internal antenna element;
- and
- at least one duplexer/filter to couple to the transceiver and the switchplexer.
