Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include one or more antennas. The antennas may include millimeter wave antenna arrays. Non millimeter-wave antennas such as cellular telephone antennas may have conductive structures separated by a dielectric gap. In a device with a metal housing, a plastic-filled slot may form the dielectric gap. The conductive structures may be slot antenna structures, inverted-F antenna structures such as an inverted-F antenna resonating element and a ground, or other antenna structures. The plastic-filled slot may serve as a millimeter wave antenna window. A millimeter wave antenna array may be mounted in alignment with the millimeter wave antenna window to transmit and receive signals through the window. Millimeter wave antenna windows may also be formed from air-filled openings in a metal housing such as audio port openings.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A computer stylus may have an elongated body with a tip and an opposing end having components such as a connector and an antenna. Metal structures for the antenna may be supported using a molded plastic support with metal traces or may be formed using flexible printed circuits or other structures. Metal and plastic tubes may be used in forming the body of the stylus. A metal tube may have an opening in which an antenna is mounted. A plastic tube may serve as an outer housing for the stylus and may cover the metal tube and the opening in which the antenna is mounted. A transmission line such as a cable may be coupled to an antenna feed. The cable may pass through an opening in the metal tube and may be covered using a strip of conductive foam.

Abstract: Electronic devices are provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. The antenna structures may include antennas such as inverted-F antennas that contain antenna resonating elements and antenna ground elements. Antenna resonating elements may be formed from patterned conductive traces on substrates such as flex circuit substrates. Antenna ground elements may be formed from conductive device structures such as metal housing walls. Support and biasing structures such as dielectric support members and layer of foam may be used to support and bias antenna resonating elements against planar device structures. The planar device structures against which the antenna resonating elements are biased may be planar dielectric members such as transparent layers of display cover glass or other planar structures. Adhesive may be interposed between the planar structures and the antenna resonating elements.

Abstract: A cavity-backed antenna 26, or an electronic device, comprises a cavity-backed resonant antenna element 70 where the cavity 72 is formed from a dielectric support structure 112 covered with a layer of conductive material 74, 76. The dielectric material may be a moulded plastic support structure 112 with surfaces covered by a conductive metal such as copper or aluminium via any suitable deposition technique. The resonant antenna element 70 may take any form including one or more open and/or closed slot arrangements in a conductive plate or conductive layer formed on a printed circuit board, planar inverted-F antenna arrangements, patch antennas or various monopole and/or dipole printed antenna arrangements. The antenna may be arranged to operate in one or more different frequency bands. The cavity backed antenna 26 may be used in a housing associated with an electronic device such as a computer or a mobile phone. An antenna window may be provided in the said housing where the window may be formed by a region of dielectric material or from antenna window slots formed in a conductive member such as a conductive wall of the electronic device housing.

Abstract: An apparatus 10 comprises an antenna with a resonant element 76 and a metal electronic device housing 12 that forms an antenna ground element for the antenna. The antenna resonant element 76 is attached by a layer of adhesive 76 to the planar surface of a planar dielectric member 52. The planar dielectric member 52 may be a rectangular transparent display cover glass member with an opaque masking layer of black ink located along a peripheral portion of the said glass member where the antenna resonant element 76 may be adhered. A radio-frequency transceiver and transmission line may be coupled to the antenna. The antenna resonant member 76 and/or the transmission line may be formed by a flexible printed circuit using a polymer sheet substrate. The antenna resonating element 76, possibly backed by a conductive cavity, may be held in position by a biasing structure 78, such as foam, which presses the antenna resonant member 46 towards the inner surface of the display glass 52. The biasing structure may extend between the metal housing and the antenna resonant element. The antenna may be inverted-F antenna.

Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung kann eine gekrümmte Deckschicht und eine Antenne einschließen. Die Antenne kann eine Masse und ein Resonanzelement auf einer gekrümmten Oberfläche eines Substrats einschließen. Die gekrümmte Oberfläche kann eine Krümmung aufweisen, die mit der der Deckschicht übereinstimmt. Das Resonanzelement kann einen ersten, einen zweiten und einen dritten Arm einschließen, der durch eine Speisung gespeist werden. Der erste Arm und ein Abschnitt der Masse können ein Schleifenantennenresonanzelement bilden. Der zweite Arm und der erste Arm können ein Resonanzelement einer invertierten F-Antenne bilden, wobei ein Abschnitt des ersten Arms einen Rückweg zur Antennenmasse für das Resonanzelement einer invertierten F-Antenne bildet. Ein Abstand zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Arm kann eine verteilte Kapazität bilden. Der dritte Arm kann ein L-förmiges Antennenresonanzelement bilden. Die Antenne kann eine breite Bandbreite von unter 2,4 GHz bis über 9,0 GHz aufweisen.

Abstract: Ein drahtloses Leistungssystem kann eine drahtlose Leistungsübertragungsvorrichtung verwenden, um drahtlose Leistung an eine drahtlose Leistungsempfangsvorrichtung zu übertragen. Die drahtlose Leistungsübertragungsvorrichtung kann Mikrowellenantennen aufweisen, die sich entlang einer Achse in einer versetzten Anordnung erstrecken. Bei der versetzten Anordnung sind die Mikrowellenantennen auf abwechselnden Seiten der Achse positioniert. Jede Mikrowellenantenne ist entlang einer Abmessung langgestreckt, die senkrecht zu der Achse verläuft. Mehrere Antennen können eine drahtlose Leistungsempfangsantenne in der drahtlosen Leistungsempfangsvorrichtung überlappen. Eine Steuerschaltung kann eine Oszillator- und Verstärkerschaltung verwenden, um Antennen, die von der drahtlosen Leistungsempfangsantenne überlappt wurden, mit Treibersignalen zu versorgen. Die Treibersignale können basierend auf Feedback von der drahtlosen Leistungsempfangsvorrichtung angepasst werden, um den Leistungsübertragungswirkungsgrad zu verbessern. Das System kann eine drahtlose Leistungsübertragungsvorrichtung mit induktiven drahtlosen Leistungsübertragungsspulen aufweisen.

Abstract: Antennas are provided for electronic devices such as portable computers. An electronic device may have a housing in which an antenna is mounted. The housing may be formed of conductive materials. A dielectric antenna window may be mounted in the housing to allow radio- frequency signals to be transmitted from the antenna and to allow the antenna to receive radio-frequency signals. Near-field radiation limits may be satisfied by reducing transmit power when an external object is detected in the vicinity of the dielectric antenna window and the antenna. A proximity sensor may be used in detecting external objects. A parasitic antenna resonating element may be interposed between the antenna resonating element and the dielectric antenna window to minimize near-field radiation hotspots. The parasitic antenna resonating element may be formed using a capacitor electrode for the proximity sensor. A ferrite layer may be interposed between the parasitic element and the antenna window.
