Solution Overview

Problem

Multiband antennas for wireless communication devices often have a constant Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) that fails to meet varying SAR standards across different countries and regions, making them unsuitable for diverse wireless communication frequencies.

Innovation Solution

A multiband antenna design featuring a main antenna and two parasitic portions, connected via switches, which can resonate different frequency bands and adjust SAR by switching configurations, allowing the antenna to meet SAR standards of different regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

AI summary

A multiband antenna in a wireless communication device includes a main antenna, a first parasitic portion, a second parasitic portion, a first switch, and a second switch, the first switch is used to control functioning of the first parasitic portion. The second switch is used to control functioning of the second parasitic portion. Therefore, the main antenna can resonate alone or in combination with the functioning first parasitic portion and/or the functioning second parasitic portion, the multiband antenna has different operating frequency bands and different operating SAR.
