Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for an efficient antenna design and operation method to adjust or add frequency bands at mobile devices using the available limited antenna size. The embodiments include electrically coupling to the antenna elements at a mobile or radio device a tuning stub or element through a printed circuit board (PCB) or a metal chassis. The PCB is placed between the antenna elements and the tuning stub and is connected to the antenna elements. The tuning stub, e.g., at a corner of the PCB, is connected or disconnected via a switch from the PCB, and hence the antenna elements, to shift the radiation of the antenna at different frequencies and also provide an additional mode of radiation. The tuning stub can also be switched to vary the radiation pattern of the antenna.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a circuit board; a first antenna connected to the circuit board and operating at a first frequency band; a second antenna connected to the circuit board, the second antenna being separate from the first antenna and operating at a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band; a tuning stub positioned on the circuit board, wherein the tuning stub is insulated from the first antenna and the second antenna; and a switch configured to electrically connect the tuning stub to the circuit board for electric current to flow between the tuning stub and each of the first antenna and the second antenna, wherein the tuning stub is electrically connected to the circuit board to simultaneously shift the first frequency band of the first antenna and the second frequency band of the second antenna.
