The composite structure has two opposing surfaces in which the conducting element is disposed essentially between the surfaces of the composite structure.
Abstract:
A connector for an RF antenna for coupling the RF antenna to a device is formed from a base. A collar is provided for receiving and coupling to an RF antenna. A coupling structure extends from the base and engages the device to facilitate coupling of the antenna to the device. An antenna system is also formed from an RF antenna and a device to which the RF antenna couples and for which the RF antenna is used. The antenna system further includes a connector formed from a base, a collar for receiving and coupling to the RF antenna and a coupling structure that extends from the base and engages the device to facilitate coupling of the antenna to the device.
Abstract:
A portable terminal includes a circuit board having edge and component mounting surfaces. The edge surface includes a first contact terminal and an antenna includes a second contact terminal. The component mounting surface is at least substantially parallel with a display screen of the terminal and the edge surface is at least substantially perpendicular to the display screen. The first and second contact terminals are coupled together to establish an electrical connection between the circuit board and antenna when the antenna and edge surface are mounted in parallel to one another within a housing of the terminal.
Abstract:
An earphone antenna includes: earphone cords; an earphone portion; a coaxial cable; and a pin plug connector portion; wherein the earphone cords cooperate with a shielded line of the coaxial cable using a connection point with the coaxial cable as a feeding point to constitute an antenna for receiving RF signals; wherein conductor lines constituting a core wire of the coaxial cable form signal lines for transmitting audio signals and a ground line; and wherein the coaxial cable is connected with a separation-superimposition circuit portion which is mounted at a side of the pin plug connector portion or at a side of a wireless electronic device and acts to separate the RF signals and the audio signals and to superimpose the audio signals.
Abstract:
A mounting assembly (300) for coupling to a circuit board (180) is provided. The mounting assembly can include a radio frequency (RF) connector (330) for receiving an antenna, a flexible cable (340) connected to the RF connector, and an alignment wall (350) supporting the flexible cable and providing a guide channel (343) to flexibly mount the RF connector to a mechanical housing (190). The alignment wall can limit the movement of the RF connector to within a tolerance to alleviate a solder stress on the circuit board.
Abstract:
An antenna tube configured to accommodate a grounding clip and an antenna, the antenna tube having a cylindrical tube having an upper end and an inner end opposite the upper end; a circumferentially extending groove in the cylindrical tube located between the upper end and the inner end; and a tapered lip at the inner end of the cylindrical tube, wherein the grounding clip fits between the circumferentially extending groove and the tapered lip, and at least a portion of the antenna slidably fits into the upper end of the cylindrical tube.
Abstract:
A connector system for a vehicle antenna is a system by joining a fixed connector having legs connected to a terminal of the vehicle antenna, with a movable connector that is removably connected to the fixed connector and has a cable connected to a signal receiving apparatus. A first slide mechanism is located on the fixed connector, extended along a surface where the legs touch, and the second slide mechanism, able to be fitted in the slide mechanism on the fixed connector, is located on the movable connector. By sliding the first slide mechanism and the second slide mechanism to be fitted in each other, the movable connector can be joined to the fixed connector along the surface where the connector system is installed.
Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector is to be attached to a coaxial cable including an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric therebetween. The coaxial cable connector includes a connector housing defining a ramp to receive an outer conductor thereagainst. A back nut has a ring base and a plurality of flexible fingers carried thereby to clamp against the outer conductor opposite the ramp. The connector housing and the back nut include respective portions defining a positive stop when fully engaged. A center contact is to be coupled to the inner conductor. There is at least one insulator member in the connector housing for carrying the center contact and comprising a radially outer support portion to radially support the outer conductor opposite the compressible ring.
Abstract:
A device comprises an RFID transceiver disposed on a first side of a printed circuit board; an antenna disposed on a second side of the printed circuit board; and a cable passing through the printed circuit board, a first end of the cable being connected to the RFID transceiver, a second end of the cable being connected to the antenna.
