Abstract

A wireless multi-band device comprises a radiating system comprising a ground plane layer, a boosting element, and a radiofrequency system, wherein the radiofrequency system comprises a tunable reactive element.

Claims (37)

1. A wireless device comprising:

a radiating system that comprises a radiating structure comprising:

at least one ground plane layer;

at least one boosting element; and

a radiofrequency system comprising a tunable reactive circuit,

wherein the at least one ground plane layer has a length equal to or less than 80 mm and a width equal to or less than 60 mm;

wherein the wireless devices is configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals in at least two separated frequency regions within a frequency range of 698 MHz to 2690 MHz; and

wherein the tunable reactive circuit comprises a single switch connected in series between the at least one boosting element and a transceiver, and a bank of fixed matching networks.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the width of the at least one ground plane layer is less than ⅙ times the longest operating wavelength of the radiating system.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein a first of the at least two separated frequency regions is included in the frequency range from 698 MHz to 960 MHz, and where a second of the at least two separated frequency regions is included in the frequency range from 1,710 MHz to 2,690 MHz.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the tunable reactive circuit comprises a tunable capacitor.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the tunable reactive circuit comprises a tunable inductor.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is self-tunable.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a control mechanism to tune the tunable reactive circuit such that the wireless device operates in an intended frequency band.

8. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one boosting element is configured to cause the ground plane layer to radiate in an intended frequency band, and

wherein the tunable reactive circuit is configured to shift the intended frequency band in response to tuning of the tunable reactive circuit.

9. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the length of the at least one ground plane layer is less than ⅙ times the longest operating wavelength of the radiating system.

10. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein each matching network of the bank of fixed matching networks comprises at most 3 components.

11. A wireless device comprising

a radiating structure that comprises:

at least one ground plane layer;

at least one boosting element, wherein a largest dimension of the boosting element is less than ⅙ times a longest operating wavelength of the radiating structure; and

a radiofrequency system comprising a tunable reactive circuit,

wherein the at least one ground plane layer has a length equal to or less than 80 mm and a width equal to or less than 60 mm; and

wherein the wireless devices is configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals in at least two separated frequency regions within a frequency range of 698 MHz to 2690 MHz; and

wherein the tunable reactive circuit comprises a single switch connected in series between the at least one boosting element and a transceiver, and a bank of fixed matching networks.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the width of the at least one ground plane layer is less than ⅙ times the longest operating wavelength of the radiating structure.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 wherein a first of the at least two separated frequency regions is included in the frequency range from 698 MHz to 960 MHz, and where a second of the at least two separated frequency regions is included in the frequency range from 1,710 MHz to 2,690 MHz.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the tunable reactive circuit comprises a tunable capacitor.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the tunable reactive circuit comprises a tunable inductor.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the wireless device is self-tunable.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising

a control mechanism to tune the tunable reactive circuit such that the radiating structure operates in an intended frequency band.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one boosting element is configured to cause the ground plane layer to radiate an intended frequency band, and

wherein the tunable reactive circuit is configured to shift the intended frequency band in response to tuning of the tunable reactive circuit.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the length of the at least one ground plane layer is less than ⅙ times the longest operating wavelength of the radiating structure.
