A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003043B2) discloses a communication device comprising an RF module, an antenna structure with first and second radiation elements, switch elements, impedance elements, and a feeding connection element. The first radiation element is thicker than the second, with specific thickness ranges provided for each. The antenna structure covers multiple frequency bands, with lengths of the radiation elements corresponding to specific wavelengths. The device also includes a PCB providing ground voltage, with the second radiation element positioned between the first radiation element and the PCB. The impedance elements include various components coupled to the ground voltage.

The patent further details the configuration of the communication device, with specific dimensions provided for the width and length of the radiation elements. The feeding connection element, switch elements, and impedance elements play crucial roles in the functioning of the antenna structure. The positioning of the radiation elements on different planes and their relationship to the feeding point and PCB are key aspects of the design. Additionally, the circular shape of the PCB and the arc-shapes of the radiation elements contribute to the overall performance of the communication device. The patent outlines various embodiments and configurations to optimize the device's communication capabilities across different frequency bands.
