Patent ID: 11211686

Abstract:
An information handling system to wirelessly transmit and receive data at an antenna may include a base housing chassis containing components of the information handling system including a processor and memory and including a C-cover and a metal D-cover; a display chassis assembly having a display screen and including an A-cover; a hinge mechanically coupling the display chassis assembly to the base housing chassis; a hinge gap integrated along a hinge between an edge of the A-cover and an edge of the metal D-cover; an antenna to emit a radio frequency signal to a contained hinge gap resonant cavity formed within the hinge gap; and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) having a ground line operatively coupling the base housing chassis to the display chassis assembly to form a ground path across the hinge gap to shunt excitation currents along the hinge gap and to determine a size of the contained hinge gap resonant cavity between the A-cover and D-cover to accommodate an operating frequency of the radio frequency signal or harmonics of the operating frequency.
