Abstract:
An antenna assembly for an electronic communications device, the electronic communications device having a housing with a communications port, the antenna assembly comprising:a) a stationary active member that is in communication with the communications port to transmit a stationary active member transmit signal; and b) a non-stationary field diverter that is connected to and solely supported by the stationary active member, wherein the field diverter radiates a phase shifted transmit signal that interacts with the stationary active member transmit signal to create a field isolation zone adjacent to the electronic communications device in which radiation emitted by the stationary active member is reduced, the zone being large enough to fit a user's head; wherein power is divided from the communications port substantially equally between the stationary active member and the non-stationary field diverter such that the stationary active member and the non-stationary field diverter have input voltages equal in amplitude.
