Abstract

The present invention discloses a wireless communication module, comprising a substrate; at least one wireless module, disposed on the substrate; and a module which does not emit wireless signals can be disposed on the substrate as well. The wireless communication module forms a compact structure and removes the need for RF shielded coaxial cables within the communication module. The present invention further discloses a portable device, which comprises a display part comprising a communication module; and a host part coupled to the display part; wherein the communication module is deposited on top of display part for better reception.

Claims (33)

1. A wireless communication module, comprising:

a substrate;

two wireless modules horizontally disposed on the substrate, wherein the two wireless modules each include an antenna and a processing unit; and

a module which does not emit wireless signals, disposed on the substrate in between the two wireless modules,

wherein a distance between each antenna and the module is based on a half to a quarter of the wavelength of a signal used by each wireless module, and the two wireless modules and the module form a compact structure and remove the need for RF shield coaxial cables within the communication module.

2. The wireless communication module of claim 1 , wherein the module which does not emit wireless signals is a camera module.

3. The wireless communication module of claim 1 , wherein the two wireless modules comprise a first wireless module disposed on the substrate and a second wireless module disposed on the substrate.

4. The wireless communication module of claim 3 , wherein the first wireless module comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) module.

5. The wireless communication module of claim 3 , wherein the first wireless module comprises a first antenna on an edge of the substrate.

6. The wireless communication module of claim 5 , wherein the first antenna is a printed antenna on the substrate.

7. The wireless communication module of claim 3 , wherein the second wireless module comprises a second antenna on another edge end of the substrate.

8. The wireless communication module of claim 7 , wherein the second antenna is a printed antenna on the substrate.

9. The wireless communication module of claim 1 , wherein the two wireless modules comprise a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) module with multiple antennas.

10. The wireless communication module of claim 1 , further comprising a connector to couple the two wireless modules to the module.

11. The wireless communication module of claim 3 , further comprising a first connector to couple the first wireless module to a system, and a second connector to couple the second wireless module to the system.

12. The wireless communication module of claim 3 , further comprising:

a first grounding connector to couple the first wireless module to a ground plate; and

a second grounding connector to couple the second wireless module to the ground plate.

13. The wireless communication module of claim 12 , further comprising a third grounding connectors to couple the module to the ground plate.

14. The wireless communication module of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication module is coupled to a portable device via a display part,

wherein the portable device further comprises a host part coupled to the display part,

wherein the portable device performs a plurality of formats of wireless communication.

15. A method for manufacturing a portable device with a wireless communication module, the method comprising the steps of:

disposing the wireless communication module into a display part of the portable device; wherein the wireless communication module comprises: a substrate; two wireless modules horizontally disposed on the substrate, wherein the two wireless modules each include an antenna and a processing unit; and a module which does not emit wireless signals, disposed on the substrate in between the two wireless modules, wherein a distance between each antenna and the module is based on a half to a quarter of the wavelength of a signal used by each wireless module, and the two wireless modules and the module form a compact structure and remove the need for RF shield coaxial cables within the communication module; and

coupling the wireless communication module with a host part of the portable device.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the step of coupling the wireless communication module with the host part of the portable device comprises:

coupling a connector to the host part for coupling the wireless communication module to the host part.

17. The method of claim 15 wherein the two wireless modules comprise a first wireless module disposed on the substrate and a second wireless module disposed on the substrate.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the step of coupling the wireless communication module with the host part of the portable device comprises:

coupling a first connector to the host part to couple the first wireless module to the host part; and

coupling a second connector to the host part to couple the second wireless module to the host part.

19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

forming a plurality of grounding connectors between the wireless communication module and a ground plate of the display part.
