The invention relates to an internal multiband antenna intended for small-sized radio devices, and a radio device with such an antenna. The basic structure of the antenna is a two-band PIFA. A parasitic element (230) is added to it inside the outline of the radiating plane (220) of the PIFA, e.g. in the space (229) between the conductor branches (221, 222) of the radiating plane. The parasitic element extends close to the feeding point (FP) of the antenna, from which place it is connected to the ground plane of the antenna with its own short-circuit conductor (235). The structure is dimensioned so that the resonance frequency based on the parasitic element comes close to the one resonance frequency of the PIFA, thus widening the corresponding operating band, or a separate third operating band is formed for the antenna with the parasitic element. Because the parasitic element is located in the central area of the radiating plane and not in its peripheral area, the radio device user's hand does not significantly impair the matching of the antenna on an operating band which has been formed by the parasitic element. In addition, when the resonance frequency based on the parasitic element is on the upper operating band, the matching of the antenna also improves on the lower operating band.

An antenna structure includes a capacitance-rendering portion located between an open end portion of a feed radiation electrode and a ground portion. A switch for changing the capacitance between the open end portion of the feed radiation electrode and the ground portion rendered by the capacitance-rendering portion is provided. When the capacitance between the open end portion of the feed radiation electrode and the ground portion is increased by the capacitance-rendering portion, a resonant frequency in the fundamental frequency band, caused by the antenna operation of the feed radiation electrode, is reduced corresponding to the increased amount of the capacitance. When the capacitance between the open end portion of the feed radiation electrode and the ground portion is decreased by the changing operation of the capacitance-rendering portion, the resonant frequency in the fundamental frequency band is increased corresponding to the decreased amount of the capacitance.

An electrical interconnection system with high speed, differential electrical connectors. The connector is assembled from wafers each containing a column of conductive elements, some of which form differential pairs. Skew control is provided for at least some of the pairs by providing a profile on an edge of the shorter signal conductor of the pair. The profile may contain multiple curved segments that effectively lengthen the signal conductor without significantly impacting its impedance. For connectors in which ground conductors are included between adjacent pairs of signal conductors, patterned segments of varying parameters may be included on edges of the signal conductors and ground conductors to equalize electrical lengths of all edges in a set of edges for which there is common mode or differential mode coupling as a signal propagates along each pair. Such features for skew control may be used in combination with other skew control features. The features used may vary depending on the location of the pair within the column.

The invention relates to a multiband antenna structure suitable for mobile stations in particular. The radiating elements of the antenna include not only a helix (210) but also the joining piece (220) that attaches the helix to the apparatus. The helix is shaped such that the distance between its conductor turns varies. The electrical length of the joining piece is increased e.g. by means of a conductive projection (226) that remains within the covering of the apparatus. By suitably dimensioning the parts, at least five of the resonances that the helix and joining piece have together and separately are arranged at useful points on the frequency scale. The structure according to the invention is despite the several bands simple and relatively low in production costs.

The antenna arrangement can comprise at least one antenna element (110) configured to supply a current, at least one ground plane element (120) configured to conduct the current, and at least one magnetic element (130) configured to influence at least a part of the current in order to modify an electrical length of the at least one ground plane element (120). It enables to increase the electrical length of a terminal chassis, which may increase the operation bandwidth of the antenna-chassis combination. This effect can be further increased when combining at least one slot and at least one magnetic element covering the same at least partially.

In a feeding radiation electrode of a surface mount antenna, a series inductance component such as a meander pattern is formed locally in a maximum resonance current part in a high-order mode (second-order mode) so as to locally form a series inductance component therein thereby making the maximum resonance current part have a greater electrical length per unit physical length than the other parts. This makes it possible to control the difference between the resonance frequency in a fundamental mode and the resonance frequency in the high-order mode over a large range. Furthermore, it is possible to vary the resonance frequency in the second-order mode independently of the resonance frequency in the fundamental mode by varying the number of lines or the line-to-line distance of the meander pattern thereby varying the value of the series inductance component. Thus, it is possible to easily and efficiently design a surface mount antenna having a frequency characteristic which satisfies requirements needed in multi-band applications without having to change the basic design.

The antenna unit employs a mode of multi-layer microstrip paster antenna and a basic structure of the antenna comprises a metal reflecting plate, a microstrip feeding layer, two radiating layers and a plurality of nylon insulating columns. The greatest innovation of the invention lies in an ultrabroad band characteristic of the antenna; a novel arrowhead coupling feeding groove and a double-layer radiation patch are employed; and a bandwidth can reach 49.5% on the condition that a standing-wave ratio is less than 1.5. On the basis of a reasonable design of a reflecting plate, a half-power lobe width of the antenna is a value caused by adding 6 degrees to 65 degrees or by subtracting 6 degrees from 65 degrees in a whole working frequency band range; and a convergence degree of a wave beam of the antenna has a good performance. According to the invention, a corner feeding mode is employed to carry out feeding and a dual polarization with plus / minus 45 degrees is realized on the condition that it is avoided that a radiation patch is rotated by 45 degrees, so that it is beneficial to reduce a whole length of an antenna array after arrangement of the array. On the basis of the basic structure that is based on the technical scheme of the invention, other concrete embodiments of the invention can be constructed only by reasonably changing a size of a radiation patch, a shape of a slotted floor and spaces between all layers.
