Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless terminal devices face a trade-off between ensuring Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) performance and maintaining wireless performance, as reducing transmission power to meet SAR requirements often results in compromised wireless performance.

Innovation Solution

A ring-shaped antenna with a first conductor connected to its inner side, allowing current dispersion, and optionally featuring a gap of various shapes and a second conductor for improved impedance matching and radiation blocking, is used in conjunction with a printed circuit board to ensure SAR performance without affecting wireless performance.

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna structure is segmented into multiple conductors (first conductor, second conductor, third conductor) that are spatially separated and connected through specific coupling mechanisms. This segmentation allows different parts of the antenna to handle different functions: some conductors optimize SAR performance by controlling current distribution near the human body, while others maintain wireless performance through proper signal transmission paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The antenna employs a nested structure where the first conductor is positioned inside the ring-shaped antenna body, the second conductor is nested within the first conductor, and the third conductor is positioned inside the second conductor. This nested arrangement enables compact integration of multiple functional elements, allowing the antenna to simultaneously achieve SAR compliance through inner conductors and maintain wireless performance through outer conductors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna structure itself serves the dual function of both radiating electromagnetic signals and controlling current distribution to meet SAR requirements. The specific geometric configuration and conductor arrangement enable the antenna to automatically optimize its current paths without requiring external control circuits or proximity sensors, thus achieving SAR compliance while maintaining simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The antenna structure performs multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the primary radiating element for wireless communication, serves as a current distribution controller for SAR compliance, and provides structural integration for the terminal device. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate proximity sensors or additional control mechanisms.
