A multiband planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) can provide improved performance and operating efficiency, and utilizes a capacitive element configured to provide high efficiency operation, and a tuning area that allows the antenna to be tuned independently of the capacitive element. As a result of this feature, the antenna can be tuned to the desired operating frequencies, while allowing the capacitive element to remain configured for optimal operating efficiency. The antenna can be configured in a loop for effective utilization of a given volume and can therefore be relatively small in size and high efficiency. A capacitive loading section can be included to allow improved antenna efficiency and radiation. Additionally, tuning section can be provided to allow the antenna to be tuned without adjusting the capacitive loading section. To obtain operation at an additional frequency band, a parasitic element or a slot configuration can be included.

An adaptive controller for an ESPAR antenna randomly perturbs a bias voltage vector V(n) composed of elements of bias voltage values Vm by a random vector R(n) generated by a random number generator, compares an objective function value J(n) of a cross correlation coefficient for a bias voltage vector V(n) before the perturbation with an objective function value J(n+1) of a cross correlation coefficient for a bias voltage vector V(n+1) after the perturbation, and selects and sets the bias voltage Vm corresponding to that when the cross correlation coefficient increases before and after the perturbation. Then the adaptive controller repeats the random perturbation and setting from the bias voltage of respective varactor diodes. This leads to that it is not necessary to provide a long training sequence signal, and the control process can be executed with learning so that a performance can be improved every iteration for search.

The invention relates to a design method of a 3G (third-generation) antenna of a full-screen intelligent mobile phone and the corresponding antenna. The design method comprises the steps of arranging a high-frequency circuit and a low-frequency circuit of the antenna on a circuit board, wherein the high-frequency circuit and the low-frequency circuit are isolated through an isolating trough, and adjusting the length and the width of the isolating trough to control resonance between the high-frequency circuit and the low-frequency circuit; and arranging a feed point and a ground point, wherein the ground point is arranged on the external side of the feed point, i.e. close to the side of the circuit board; and after an arranged second isolating trough leads out high-frequency second resonance, adjusting the length or the thickness of the second isolating trough to adjust the low-frequency band of the antenna, so as to match with a radio-frequency power amplifier to realize high frequency and high sensitivity. The antenna designed by adopting the design method provided by the invention has the advantages that the volume is small, the performance is excellent and the problem that the low-frequency radiation power and the low-frequency receiving sensitivity of the antenna are decreased because a method of adding a parasitic element to increase bandwidth is adopted can be effectively avoided.

The method and apparatus described herein improves the impedance matching of a multi-band antenna (100). In particular, the multi-band antenna (100) comprises a radiating element (110) vertically displaced from an antenna ground plane (132) by feed and ground elements (116, 118), and a parasitic element (120) interposed between the feed and ground elements (116, 118). When the multi-band antenna (100) operates in the first frequency band, a selection circuit (140) connects the parasitic element (120) to the ground plane (132) to capacitively couple the ground element (118) to the feed element (116). However, when the multi-band antenna (100) operates in the second frequency band, the selection circuit (140) disables the capacitive coupling. By applying the capacitive coupling only when the multi-band antenna (100) operates in the first frequency band, the present invention improves the performance of the antenna (100) in the first frequency band without adversely affecting the performance of the antenna (100) in the second frequency band.

In a layout data forming step and a layout outputting step after a netlist is read, layout data is formed based on the netlist. In a path sorting step in parallel with these steps, a delay for each path is calculated based on the netlist to compare with a predetermined delay. Only a path having a delay exceeding the predetermined delay is output as a target path to an extraction path file. Then in a parasitic element extracting step, parasitic elements are extracted only from a graphic pattern included in the target path in the layout data while referencing the extraction path file.

An adjustable multi-band planar antenna especially applicable in mobile terminals. In the structure of the antenna, advantageously on a surface of a dielectric part, there is placed a conductive element (430) having a significant electromagnetic coupling to the radiating plane (422). The arrangement further comprises a filter (440) and a switch (SW) so that the parasitic conductive element at issue can be connected through the filter to a terminal element (TE) connected to the ground plane. That terminal element is pure short-circuit or a reactive element. An antenna's operation band, which is desired to be displaced, situates on pass band of the filter, and another operation band, which is desired not to be effected, situates in stop band of the filter. Controlling the switch causes the electric length of the antenna's part corresponding for example the upper operation band to change measured from the short-circuit point, in which case also the resonance frequency changes and the band is displaced. Only one operation band of the antenna is affected because on the other operation bands a high impedance is 'seen' from the parasitic element towards the ground, although the switch is closed.

The controller executes the first adaptive control processing. The controller executes a communication processing when the detected signal quality is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold. The controller executes the second adaptive control processing when the detected signal quality is not equal to or larger than the threshold.
