Power feeding method to an antenna
View Patent ↗An electronic apparatus may comprise a screen housing, an antenna, and a waveguide. The screen housing may have a display side and an opposing rear side wherein the display side is a side from which a screen in the screen housing is viewable. The antenna may be disposed on the display side of the screen housing. The waveguide may have a first end and a second end. The first end may be coupled to a feeding point of the antenna. The second end may be coupled to a coaxial cable.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a screen housing having a display side;
an antenna disposed on the display side of the screen housing; and
a waveguide having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to a feeding point of the antenna, and wherein the second end is coupled to a coaxial cable.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electronic apparatus is a personal computer.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the coaxial cable is provided through a hinge, the hinge coupling a base of the computer system with the screen housing of the computer system.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the waveguide comprises a coplanar line.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the waveguide comprises a microstrip line.
6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is a planar inverted-F (type) antenna (PIFA).
7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the waveguide is located in a direction orthogonal to the screen.
8. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is disposed in a direction parallel to the screen.
9. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is located at a predetermined distance from the coaxial cable.
10. A convertible PC comprising:
a lower housing;
an upper housing having a screen carried on a screen side and a cover carried on a second, opposite side, wherein the upper housing is operably coupled to the lower housing for movement between a tablet use mode and a regular use mode;
an antenna disposed on the screen side of the upper housing; and
a waveguide coupled to a conductive cable and the antenna.
11. The convertible PC of claim 10 , further comprising a predetermined gap between the coaxial cable and the antenna.
12. The convertible PC of claim 10 , further comprising a ground plate in a direction orthogonal to the waveguide and parallel to the screen.
13. The convertible PC of claim 10 , wherein the waveguide is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the antenna.
14. The convertible PC of claim 10 , further comprising a predetermined gap between the antenna and the lower housing in the tablet use mode.
