Abstract
Reconfigurable antenna systems integrated with a metal case are provided herein. In certain embodiments, user equipment (UE) for a cellular network includes a metal case and an antenna system for transmitting and/or receiving wireless signals. The antenna system includes a tuning conductor formed in the metal case, a patch antenna element that is spaced apart from the tuning conductor, and a switch electrically connected in series between the tuning conductor and a ground voltage. The switch electrically connects the tuning conductor to the ground voltage in an on state and electrically disconnects the tuning conductor from the ground voltage in an off state.
