High-Sensitivity Ground Radiation Antenna System Using an Adjacent Slot for Bluetooth Headsets

In this communication, we introduce a high-sensitivity antenna system for Bluetooth headsets dealing with the numerous and unidentified noises in a printed circuit board (PCB). This antenna system is composed of a ground radiation antenna for Bluetooth applications and an adjacent slot for noise suppression. A loop-type circuit is used to model a noise source on the PCB to provide wide-frequency spectrum noise currents to analyze the noise performance of the high-sensitivity antenna system. Decoupling between the noise sources and the antenna port can lead to high sensitivity. An adjacent slot is designed as part of the system to improve the sensitivity, based on the decoupling theorem. This proposed system is effective and applicable for high-sensitivity antenna design, as verified through simulation and active measurements of Bluetooth headsets.
