Abstract

A radio frequency antenna system is provided and can include a radio printed circuit board, a first antenna element located proximate an edge of the radio printed circuit board, a second antenna element located proximate the edge of the radio printed circuit board, and a cancelation circuit located on the radio printed circuit board and connected to feeding points of the first antenna and the second antenna, wherein the cancelation circuit can provide a cancelation effect at output ports of the cancelation circuit with respect to signals broadcast by the first antenna element and the second antenna element over air.

Claims (22)

1. A system comprising:

a radio printed circuit board;

a base printed circuit board coupled to a connection end of the radio printed circuit board, wherein a long end of the radio printed circuit board is opposite the connection end of the radio printed circuit board;

a first radio connection point that includes an active antenna port;

a first antenna element located proximate an edge of the radio printed circuit board;

a second radio connection point that includes a first receiving port and a second receiving port;

a second antenna element located proximate the edge of the radio printed circuit board; and

a cancelation circuit located on the radio printed circuit board and connected to a first feeding point of the first antenna element and a second feeding point of the second antenna element, wherein the first feeding point is electrically coupled to the first radio connection point and the second feeding point is electrically coupled to the second radio connection point, wherein the first antenna element and the second element are arranged co-linearly with the first and second feeding points facing each other, and wherein the active antenna port is configured to receive a signal to be broadcast, the first receiving port is configured to receive a signal through the second antenna, and the second receiving port is configured to receive a signal through the cancelation circuit such that the cancelation circuit is configured to provide a cancelation effect with respect to signals broadcast by the first antenna element and the second antenna element over air.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the cancelation circuit includes lumped-element components arranged in a symmetric filter topology such that the cancelation circuit is configured to provide a phase shift on signals conducted through the cancelation circuit to provide the cancelation effect.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein changes to lengths, capacitance, or inductance of the lumped-element components are configured to change a frequency at which the cancelation effect occurs.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured such that performance of the radio printed circuit board is independent of a design of the base printed circuit board.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein a height of the radio printed circuit board is a quarter wavelength of an operation frequency of the first antenna element and the second antenna element.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein a length of the radio printed circuit board is a half wavelength of an operation frequency of the first antenna element and the second antenna element.

7. A method comprising:

broadcasting signals over air via a first antenna element and a second antenna element on a radio printed circuit board; and

providing, via a cancelation circuit on the radio printed circuit board and connected to feeding points of the first antenna and the second antenna a cancelation effect at output ports of the cancelation circuit with respect to the signals broadcast by the first antenna element and the second antenna element over the air, wherein a first radio connection point for the first antenna includes an active antenna port, wherein a second radio connection point for the second antenna includes a first receiving port and a second receiving port, wherein the active antenna port receives a signal to be broadcast by the first antenna, and wherein the first receiving port receives a signal through the second antenna and the second receiving port receives a signal through the cancelation circuit to provide the cancelation effect.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising:

lumped-element components of the cancelation circuit arranged in a symmetric filter topology providing a phase shift on signals conducted through the cancelation circuit to provide the cancelation effect.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein changes to lengths, capacitance, or inductance of the lumped-element components change a frequency at which the cancelation effect occurs.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the first antenna element and the second element are arranged co-linearly with the feeding points facing each other.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein a height of the radio printed circuit board is a quarter wavelength of an operation frequency of the first antenna element and the second antenna element.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein a length of the radio printed circuit board is a half wavelength of an operation frequency of the first antenna element and the second antenna element.
