Described are an antenna system for wireless communication and a method of configuration thereof. The antenna system can include a first radiator having a first resonance frequency, a second radiator having a second resonance frequency different from the first resonance frequency, a first electromagnetic coupler associated with the first radiator and a first frontend, a second electromagnetic coupler associated with the second radiator and a second frontend, and a switch. The switch can be configured to connect the first electromagnetic coupler and the second electromagnetic coupler in an inter antenna aggregation configuration in a first mode of operation. The switch can also be configured to connect the first electromagnetic coupler and the second electromagnetic coupler in an intra antenna aggregation configuration in a second mode of operation.

Antenna system

A first antenna element is indirectly coupled to communication signals via a coupler that is located within a same volume of a body. A second antenna element is proximate to and adjacent the first antenna element. The first antenna element is configured to operate in a first frequency range and the second antenna element is configured to operate within a subset of the first frequency range concurrent with or simultaneously to the first antenna element. The coupler can operate to couple multiple antenna elements operating at different frequencies within the same volume of the body.

Antenna configuration with a coupler element for wireless communication

An antenna module for wireless communication comprises an antenna element, a first port and a second port. The antenna element comprises a first resonance frequency and a second resonance frequency. The first port is configured to receive or provide a first radio frequency signal with a first frequency range and the second port is configured to receive or provide a second radio frequency signal with a second frequency range. The first frequency range is different from the second frequency range. Further, the first resonance frequency is located in the first frequency range and the second resonance frequency is located in the second frequency range. The antenna element is configured to transmit or receive the first radio frequency signal and the second radio frequency signal simultaneously.

Antenna module and a method for wireless communication

An antenna includes a slot feed on the radiator itself (On Radiator Slot Fed Antenna or ORSFA) instead of the slot feed being a separate element. One of the advantages of having the slot feed integrated onto the radiator is that the antenna is less dependent on the adjacent conductive parts, since the feed is coupling to the radiator rather than to ground (as is done in a standard slot feed antenna concept). The Q of the radiator can also be reduced for a given volume, since the coupler is removed from the antenna volume. In an embodiment the antenna can include a transmission line and an impedance match circuit directly on the radiator.
