Figure 2 illustrates an internal antenna structure from the top;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of an internal antenna structure;

Description of embodiments With reference to Figures 1 and 2, let us examine an example of an internal antenna structure 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. The internal antenna structure 100 includes a monopole-type antenna which comprises a ground plate 102 and a radiator element 106. A radio frequency between the ground plate 102 and the radiator element 106 is generated by a modulating element (MOD) 108, such as a radio frequency front-end.
The ground plate 102 and the radiator element 106 are electrically and physically coupled to form a monopole-type antenna. In a typical monopole-type antenna, the radiator element 106 and the ground plate 102 are gal- vanically isolated from each other, or the impedance between the radiator ele- ment 106 and the ground plate 102 is very high at the operating frequency. A monopole-type antenna provides advantages, such as a wider bandwidth, than a PIFA (Planar Inverted F-Antenna). Furthermore, a monopole-type antenna may be sized smaller than PIFAs, thus making a monopole-type antenna an attracting choice for internal mobile phone antenna applications.
In this context, the monopole-type antenna is an antenna structure where the radiator element 106 extends from the ground plate 102 such that the radiator element 106 is substantially in a non-overlapping position relative to the ground plate 102 when observed from the direction of the normal of the ground plate 102. Figure 1 illustrates such a configuration. With this configuration, the monopole-type antenna may be made thin and configured suitable for internal mobile phone antenna applications.
In an embodiment of the invention, the monopole-type antenna is a monopole antenna. In an embodiment of the invention, the monopole-type antenna is an inverted F-antenna (IFA).
In an embodiment of the invention, the monopole-type antenna is an inverted L-antenna (ILA).
In an embodiment of the invention, more than half of the radiator element 106 is in a non-overlapping position relative to the ground plate 102 when observed from the direction of the normal of the ground plate 102.
The radiator element 106 is made of conductive material, such as aluminium, copper, stainless steel, electrically conductive ink and/or magnesium. The radiator element 106 is typically a planar member whose plane is separated from the plane of the ground plate 102. The plane of the radiator element 106 may be parallel to the ground plate 102. Such a situation is illustrated in an internal antenna structure 200 shown Figure 2.
The radiator element 106 may comprise a slot structure for provid- ing the radiator element 106 with desired frequency characteristics.
The ground plate 102 may be integrated into a circuit board, such as an engine printed wired board or a main printed wired board. The radiator element 106 may be fixed to the substrate material extension 202 of the circuit board. In an embodiment of the invention, the radiator element 106 is fixed to the housing or other mechanics of the mobile phone.
In an embodiment of the invention, the radiator element 106 is a conductive pattern formed on the surface of a printed circuit board of the mobile phone.
Below the 1 GHz region, such as in the 850/900 MHz region applied in GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), the ground plate 102 acts as a substantial source of electromagnetic radiation.
With further reference to Figure 1 , the internal antenna structure 100 also comprises a blocking element 104 electrically coupled to the ground plate 102. A blocking element may also be referred to as a parasitic element. The radio frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by the blocking element 104 and the radio frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by the ground plate 102 interfere destructively, thus reducing the radiation power entering the user's head. For this, it is beneficial that the blocking element 104 is situated between the ground plate 102 and the user's head during a normal use situation of the mobile phone. The blocking element 104 typically comprises a blocking radiator
1 12 which produces a different current phase relative to the current phase of the ground plate 102, thus reducing radiation power from radiating towards the user's head. In an embodiment of the invention, the current phase of the blocking radiator 1 12 is opposite to that of the ground plate 102. In such a case, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the blocking radiator 1 12 at least partially cancel those emitted by the ground plate 102.
The blocking radiator 1 12 may be fixed to a separator part 114 which separates the blocking radiator 1 12 from the ground plate 102. The separation between the ground plate 102 and the blocking radiator 1 12 may be in the order of a few millimeters, such as 2 to 3 millimeters. The relatively small separation enables the internal antenna structure to be implemented as a thin structure suitable for mobile phones.
In an embodiment of the invention, the blocking element 104 is electrically coupled to a radiation concentration region 1 10 of the ground plate 102 and located between the ground plate 102 and the user's head in a use situation of the mobile phone. The radiation concentration region may also be referred to as a hot spot, whose location may be predicted based on the dimensions of the ground plate and the wave length associated with the electromagnetic radiation, simulations, or by measuring the density of electromagnetic fields in the proximity of the ground plate 102.
In an embodiment of the invention, the blocking element 104 is electrically coupled to the central region 204 of the ground plate 102 and located between the ground plate 102 and the user's head in a use situation of the mobile phone. With reference to Figure 3, the blocking radiator 302 may be a planar structure parallel to the plane of the ground plate 102. The blocking radia-
tor 302 may further be shaped in a U-shape with open ends 308A, 308B. In such a case, the blocking radiator 302 typically comprises side stripes 310A, 310B which may be separated from each other as much mobile phone housing allows. In an embodiment of the invention, the open ends 308A, 308B are directed towards the radiator element 106.
Figure 3 further shows an internal antenna structure 300 equipped with tuning elements 304A, 304B between the ground plate 102 and the blocking radiator 302. The tuning elements 304A, 304B may be coils which affect the resonance frequency of the blocking radiator 302.
Figure 4 shows a mobile phone 400 with user interface components, such as a microphone 404 and an earpiece 402. In this case, the cover 406 faces towards the user's head during normal use situation of the mobile phone 400. Thus, the blocking element 302 is located between a cover 406 and the ground plate 102 in order to reduce the electromagnetic wave entering the user's head.
Figure 5 shows an embodiment, where the blocking element 302 is integrated into a keypad or keyboard mask or the inner surface of the front cover of the mobile phone 500. With reference to Figure 6, embodiments of the method of manufacturing an internal antenna structure are illustrated with a flow chart presentation.

In 604, a blocking element 104 is electrically coupled to the ground plate 102.

7. The internal antenna structure of claim 4, wherein the blocking radiator (112) is U-shaped with open ends (308A, 308B).
8. The internal antenna structure of claim 7, wherein the open ends
(308A, 308B) are directed towards the radiator element (106).
9. A mobile phone comprising an internal antenna structure, c h a r a c t e r i z e d in that the internal antenna structure comprises: a radiator element (106) and a ground plate (102) configured to form a monopole-type antenna; and a blocking element (104) electrically coupled to the ground plate (102) and configured to reduce radiation power entering user's head from the ground plate (102) based on destructive interference between the ground plate (102) and the blocking element (104).
10. A method of manufacturing an internal antenna structure of a mobile phone, c h a r a c t e r i z e d by configuring (602) a radiator element and a ground plate to form a monopole-type antenna; coupling (604) electrically a blocking element (104) to the ground plate (102); and configuring (606) the blocking element (104) to reduce radiation power entering user's head from the ground plate (102) based on destructive interference between the ground plate (102) and the blocking element (104).
