Abstract:
A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity antenna is described that enables dual frequency and broadband operation, as well as enhanced protection from radio frequency interference (RFI) that may be present within an electronic device environment. The SIW cavity antenna includes a capacitively-coupled feed that is disposed within the volume of the SIW cavity antenna, which is enclosed on four sides via a set of electrically-conductive plates. The SIW cavity antenna radiates using the remaining two open sides as apertures. The SIW cavity antenna may include a meander line radiator to facilitate the operation of a second frequency band, as well as the use of a tuning stub to further enhance the impedance bandwidth.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a computer system chassis comprises a chassis side having an antenna portion and a fan portion. The antenna portion is located closer to an antenna located on an external surface of the chassis side than the fan portion. The antenna and fan portions comprise ventilation holes that provide for the venting of heated air from the chassis interior to the surrounding environment. In some embodiments, the ventilation holes in the antenna portion are thicker than the ventilation holes in the fan portion. The thicker ventilation holes provide an adequate level of EMI shielding for the antenna from platform noise generated by components (CPUs, GPUs, memories, etc.) located in the chassis interior. In other embodiments, the antenna portion comprises alternating positive and negative cross pattern ventilation holes and provides an adequate level of EMI shielding with the antenna portion ventilation holes having the same thickness as the fan portion ventilation holes.
Abstract:
A display having an integrated antenna with a substantially uniform transparency and/or light across the display. The display may have a uniformity layer that is an optical balance of the antenna, wherein the uniformity layer and the antenna have respective optical transparencies that provide a substantially uniform transparency across the display. The display may also have a backlight that has a surface brightness intensity corresponding to an optical inverse of the antenna, and is configured to provide a substantially uniform light across the display.
Abstract:
Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for dynamic re-distribution of magnetic fields in a device during near field communication (NFC) related functions or transactions and/or wireless charging.
Abstract:
Techniques of magnetic field distribution are described herein. The techniques may include forming a wireless charging component including a driving coil to receive a driven current generating a magnetic field. An outer turn of a parasitic coil may be formed, wherein the outer turn is adjacent to the driving coil. An inner turn of the parasitic coil may be formed, wherein an inductive coupling between the driving coil and the parasitic coil generates a redistribution of a portion of the magnetic field at the inner turn.
Abstract:
An antenna element forms a ring slot antenna comprising a first slot and second slot. The antenna element is located on a first surface of a conductive chassis that encases a body or a volume for wireless communication signals to be received or transmitted. A coupling component is located on an opposite side of the conductive chassis and behind the antenna element. The coupling component facilitates a coupling between a communication component and the antenna element as a function of the orientation and geometric shape of the coupling component to facilitate different resonant frequencies via the first and second slots of the antenna element.
