Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a conductive member configured to receive an antenna and to form a slot between the conductive member and a ground member; and a switch having a first closed configuration and a second open configuration, the first closed configuration being configured to couple the conductive member to the ground member across the slot and to provide a first current path having a first electrical length and a first resonant frequency, the second open configuration being configured to provide a second current path having a second electrical length and a second resonant frequency, the second resonant frequency being lower than the first resonant frequency, and wherein the conductive member has a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled to the ground member, and the conductive member being configured to receive the antenna and the second end of the conductive member configured to couple to the switch, and wherein the conductive member includes at least one of a feed point and a ground point configured to couple to the antenna, and wherein the first current path extends from the second end of the conductive member through the switch to the ground member and the second current path extends from the second end of the conductive member via the first end of the conductive member to the ground member.
