US Patent 10361476 Antenna structures for wireless communications

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication using the mmW spectrum. In particular, an antenna structure may be designed to integrate with an external housing of a wireless communication device. For example, the external housing may include a cavity that facilitates reception and/or transmission of radio frequency communication signals by an antenna element of the antenna structure. Such an antenna structure may be designed to be relatively compact to deal with the limited real estate available on modern wireless communication devices (e.g., cellular telephones).
