Abstract

A radio-frequency (RF) device for a wireless communication device includes an antenna disposition area, and a plurality of antennas of a same type, formed in the antenna disposition area by different arrangements, for receiving or transmitting a plurality of wireless signals of a same frequency band.

Claims (26)

1. A radio-frequency (RF) device, for a wireless communication device, comprising:

an antenna disposition area; and

a plurality of antennas, having a same type, and formed in the antenna disposition area by different arrangements, for receiving or transmitting a plurality of wireless signals of a same frequency band;

wherein a plurality of arrangements of the plurality of antennas are defined according to a direction from a radiating element to a grounding terminal of each of the plurality of antennas.

2. The RF device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of antennas support a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication system.

3. The RF device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication device is a laptop, and the antenna disposition area is a hinge area in the laptop.

4. The RF device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of antennas are planar inverted-F antennas, dipole antennas, foldable dipole antennas or slot antennas.

5. The RF device of claim 1 , wherein the antenna disposition area is disposed on a front side and a back side of a tubular mechanism of the wireless communication device.

6. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a radio-frequency (RF) signal processing device, for processing a plurality of RF signals of a same frequency band; and

an RF device, comprising:

an antenna disposition area; and

a plurality of antennas, having a same type, and formed in the antenna disposition area by different arrangements and coupled to the RF signal processing device, for receiving or transmitting the plurality of wireless signals;

wherein a plurality of arrangements of the plurality of antennas are defined according to a direction from a radiating element to a grounding terminal of each of the plurality of antennas.

7. The wireless communication device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of antennas support a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication system.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 6 , wherein the wireless communication device is a laptop, and the antenna disposition area is a hinge area in the laptop.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of antennas are planar inverted-F antennas, dipole antennas, foldable dipole antennas or slot antennas.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 6 , wherein the antenna disposition area is disposed on a front side and a back side of a tubular mechanism of the wireless communication device.

11. A method for enhancing antenna isolation, comprising:

designing a plurality of antennas of a same type according to an operating frequency band of a wireless communication device; and

forming the plurality of antennas in an antenna disposition area of the wireless communication device by different arrangements, for receiving or transmitting a plurality of wireless signals of the operating frequency band;

wherein a plurality of arrangements of the plurality of antennas are defined according to a direction from a radiating element to a grounding terminal of each of the plurality of antennas.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of antennas support a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication system.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the wireless communication device is a laptop, and the antenna disposition area is a hinge area in the laptop.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of antennas are planar inverted-F antennas, dipole antennas, foldable dipole antennas or slot antennas.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the antenna disposition area is disposed on a front side and a back side of a tubular mechanism of the wireless communication device.
