 Antenna for a portable radio communication device

Details
Inventors: Bickert, Paul F.; Murray, Daniel B.;

Primary Examiner: Le; Hoanganh

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Edwards; Antony C.

An antenna for a portable radio commununication device including a first elongate electrically conductive member (10) having opposed first and second ends, the first end adapted to be mounted in electrical communication to a radio communication device (18). A radiation field pattern is generated by radiation emitted by the first elongate electrically conductive member (10) and the radio communication device (18) during radio transmission, the radiation field pattern having maximum intensity at a first location. Means (24) for increasing radiation resistance is mounted to the first electrically conductive member at an opposition at generally the second end of the first member, whereby the radiation field pattern maximum intensity is shifted from the first location to a second location closer to the second end of the elongate member (10), and near field intensity of the radiation field pattern at the first location is reduced over an operational bandwidth of the radio communication device (18).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is, in a first embodiment, a radiation reducing or re-directing device suitable for use on or in conjunction with cellular phone antenna, or radiation emitting structures of portable radio communication devices.
The device has antenna near field radiation pattern redistribution means for redistributing near field radiation away from a user of the radio communication device, the antenna near field radiation pattern redistribution means mountable in proximity to a radio communication device and in particular the antenna, and in a further embodiment, on an opposed side of the antenna or of the radio communication device (for example, where the device does not have an antenna) to the user.
The device may also include an antenna power reduction means for reducing the antenna power.
The materials out of which the device is made may include dielectric materials, magnetically permeable materials, conductive materials, insulating materials, semiconducting materials, superconducting materials, or any combination of these materials.
Dielectric materials are understood to include materials whose permittivity exceeds the permittivity of free space, or which act to diffract electromagnetic waves of a wavelength relevant to the operation of a radio communication device, or which slow down the propagation of electromagnetic waves of a wavelength relevant to the operation of a radio communication device.
In particular, the dielectric material may have, in order of preference, a dielectric constant of at least 3, of at least 6, of at least 9, of at least 12 and of at least 15.
The structure of the device may be of an arbitrary shape of a material, in any number of pieces.
The structure may be layered, or mixed in any manner, including the application of thin layers in the interior or on the surface.
The structure can include electronic components which have the effect of decreasing the electrical current in the antenna or otherwise reducing the power of the radiation emitted by the antenna
