Abstract: A telescoping antenna assembly (12) has a tubular base (18) for securing to a wireless telephone handset (10) and an extendible mast (20) telescopically mounted on the tubular base (18) for movement between an extended position extending out of the tubular base (18) and a retracted position in which at least the majority of the mast is retracted within the tubular base (18). The tubular base (18) and mast (20) have mating inner and outer surfaces. On e of the mating surfaces has a helical groove (30, 31) extending along at least part fo its length, and the other cylindrical surface has at least one pin (28, 29) slidably engaged in the groove (30 ,31). The engagement of the pin (28, 29) in the helical groove (30, 31) causes the mast (20) to rotate relative to the base (18) in a first direction as the mast is moved from the retracted to the extended position, and in a second direction as the mast is moved from the extended to the retracted position, uncoiling and then recoiling the antenna feed line (24, 26) so as to reduce stretching and torque on the line.

Abstract: A portable phone unit (10) for use in satellite communication systems has a vertically correcting antenna module (14) pivotally secured to the handset (12, 12', 12''') for free rotation about a pivot axis (30). The module (14) contains a mechanism, such as a gravitational counterweight (17) for urging the module (14) to pivot into a predetermined vertical orientation regardless of the handset (12, 12', 12''') orientation. An antenna (16) projects from the module (14) in a direction which is vertically upright when the module (14) is in its predetermined vertical orientation. A mast (90) mounted antenna module can also be used to take advantage of dissimilar antenna segment (84, 86) weights for multiple frequency antennas (80). As the handset (12', 12''') is moved into an angular orientation, the module pivots under the weight of the counterweight (17), or a portion of the antenna itself (80), until the antenna is oriented vertically.

Abstract: A portable wireless communications device such as a telephone handset (10, 110) having a vertically corrected antenna module (34, 134) pivotally secured to the handset (10, 110) for rotation about a first pivot axis (40, 140). The antenna module (34, 134) can be rotated into a predetermined orientation, independent of handset orientation. An antenna (24, 124) mounted on the module (34, 134) is oriented vertically when the module (34, 134) is in the predetermined orientation. When the antenna module (34, 134) is rotated for use, a mechanism incorporated in the module (34, 134) support structure automatically rotates the antenna module (34, 134) about a second pivot axis (190) which is substantially perpendicular to the first (40, 140). This second rotation places the antenna (24, 124) at an angle that compensates for tilting of the handset (10, 110) during use about an axis parallel to the second axis (190), or along the first (40, 140). That is, the antenna (24, 124) is shifted by a preselected angle in vertical orientation, typically around 10-15 degrees, in a direction perpendicular to the first direction of rotation to compensate for positioning a speaker and microphone (26, 28) for use.

Abstract: A dual-band helical antenna provides operation in two frequency bands. The dual-band helical antenna includes two single-band antennas, each having a feed network, a ground plane opposite the feed network, and a set of one or more radiators extending from feed network. According to one aspect of the invention, a tab extends from the feed network of one of the antennas which provides a feed for that antenna. The tab also provides a path for current to flow from the radiators of the second antenna along the axis of the second antenna to thereby increase the energy radiated in the directions perpendicular to the axis. According to another feature of the invention, the ground plane of one antenna is used as a shorting ring for the other antenna.
