Abstract
An example computing system may include a proximity sensor including a sensor pad with a tail and an antenna to capacitively couple to the tail to increase a bandwidth of the antenna.
Claims15
A computing system comprising:
- a proximity sensor including a sensor pad with a tail;
- and
- an antenna module including an antenna wherein a threshold distance is disposed between the antenna and the tail to capacitively couple the antenna to the tail and increase a bandwidth of the antenna.
A computing system comprising:
- an antenna;
- a sensor pad to detect proximity of a user, wherein a tail of the sensor pad is arranged to capacitively couple to a radiating element of the antenna to increase a bandwidth of the antenna;
- and
- a controller to control a transmit power of the antenna when a user is detected by the sensor pad.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- providing a housing including a proximity sensor pad having a tail;
- and
- arranging an antenna module in the housing such that a threshold distance is disposed between an antenna of the antenna module and the tail to capacitively couple to the tail and control a return loss of the antenna.
