Portable information handling system antenna system
An antenna system for a portable information handling system. The antenna system includes an antenna radiating element and an antenna carrier assembly, the antenna radiating element being mounted to the antenna carrier assembly, the antenna carrier assembly comprising a first radiating slot and a second radiating slot, the first radiating slot providing a radiation path through a C-Cover of a base chassis of the portable information handling system in a lid open state of operation, the second radiating slot providing a radiation path through a D-cover of a base chassis of the portable information handling system in a lid closed state of operation.
1. An antenna system for a portable information handling system, comprising:
an antenna radiating element; and,
an antenna carrier assembly, the antenna radiating element being mounted to the antenna carrier assembly, the antenna carrier assembly comprising a first radiating slot and a second radiating slot, the first radiating slot providing a radiation path through a C-Cover of a base chassis of the portable information handling system in a lid open state of operation, the second radiating slot providing a radiation path through a D-cover of a base chassis of the portable information handling system in a lid closed state of operation; and wherein
the antenna carrier assembly includes an air flow portion, the airflow portion functioning cooperatively with a thermal assembly to allow air flow out a rear portion of the base chassis of the portable information handling system.
2. The antenna system of claim 1 , wherein:
the second radiating slot is positioned under a foot of the base chassis of the portable information handling system.
3. The antenna system of claim 1 , wherein:
the airflow portion defines a plurality of apertures, the plurality of apertures being configured to facilitate air flow as well as RF radiation transmission.
4. The antenna system of claim 3 , wherein:
the dimensions of the plurality of apertures correspond to Lambda over eight of the high frequency of the antenna system.
5. The antenna system of claim 1 , wherein:
the air flow portion comprises a mesh wall, the mesh wall providing a noise isolation function.
