Abstract

A wearable mobile device may include circuitry for transmissive communication, and a slotted cavity radiator in communication with the circuitry for transmissive communication to transmit or receive transmissive communication. In embodiments, the wearable mobile device may further include a pair of conductive faces between which the circuitry for transmissive communication is positioned and that bound a cavity of the slotted cavity radiator.

Claims (29)

1. A wearable mobile device, comprising:

circuitry for transmissive communication;

a slotted cavity radiator in communication with the circuitry for transmissive communication to transmit or receive transmissive communications;

a pair of conductive faces between which the circuitry for transmissive communication is positioned and that bound a cavity of the slotted cavity radiator; and

a medial face to be worn proximal to a body and a lateral face to be worn distal from the body, relative to the medial face, wherein the slotted cavity radiator includes a slotted aperture at the lateral face.

2. The mobile device of claim 1 further comprising an electromagnetic shield between the circuitry for transmissive communication and the slotted cavity radiator.

3. The mobile device of claim 1 further comprising a cavity excitation conductor positioned within the cavity and wherein the circuitry for transmissive communication is coupled to the cavity excitation conductor to transmit or receive transmissive communication.

4. The mobile device of claim 1 wherein the cavity of the slotted cavity radiator contains a dielectric material.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 wherein the wearable device is headworn.

6. The mobile device of claim 5 wherein the mobile device includes an anterior end and a posterior end and the slotted aperture is positioned toward the anterior end of the mobile device.

7. The mobile device of claim 5 wherein the wearable device includes eyeglasses and the mobile device is included as a temple of the eyeglasses.

8. A headworn apparatus, comprising:

circuitry for transmissive communication;

a slotted cavity radiator in communication with the circuitry for transmissive communication to transmit or receive transmissive communication;

a pair of conductive faces between which the circuitry for transmissive communication is positioned and that bound a cavity of the slotted cavity radiator; and

a medial face to be worn proximal to a body and a lateral face to be worn distal from the body, relative to the medial face, wherein the slotted cavity radiator includes a slotted aperture adjacent the lateral face.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 further comprising an electromagnetic shield between the circuitry for transmissive communication and the slotted cavity radiator.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 further comprising a cavity excitation conductor positioned within the cavity and wherein the circuitry for transmissive communication includes circuitry coupled to the cavity excitation conductor to transmit or receive the transmissive communication.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the cavity of the slotted cavity radiator contains a dielectric material.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 further including an anterior end and a posterior end and wherein the slotted aperture is positioned toward the anterior end.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the apparatus includes eyeglasses.

14. A wearable mobile device, comprising:

circuitry for transmissive communication; and

a slotted cavity radiator in communication with the circuitry for transmissive communication to transmit or receive transmissive communication; and

a medial face to be worn proximal to a body and a lateral face to be worn distal from the body, relative to the medial face, wherein the slotted cavity radiator includes a slotted aperture adjacent the lateral face.

15. The wearable mobile device of claim 14 further comprising a pair of conductive faces between which the circuitry for transmissive communication is positioned and that bound a cavity of the slotted cavity radiator.

16. The wearable mobile device of claim 15 further comprising a cavity excitation conductor positioned within the cavity and wherein the circuitry for transmissive communication includes circuitry coupled to the cavity excitation conductor to transmit or receive the transmissive communication.

17. The wearable mobile device of claim 15 wherein the cavity of the slotted cavity radiator contains a dielectric material.

18. The wearable mobile device of claim 14 further including an anterior end and a posterior end and wherein the slotted aperture is positioned toward the anterior end.
