[0001] Electronic devices such as desktops, laptops, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones and display devices such as monitors of electronic devices and televisions include antennas to enable wireless communications. Different standards or regulations govern the wireless communications. The standards or regulations govern operations within different frequency bands, for instance. The frequency bands include a 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) frequency band, a 5 GHz frequency band, a 6 GHz frequency band, or a combination thereof, for instance.

[0009] As described above, electronic devices include antennas to enable wireless communications. Different standards or regulations govern the wireless communications within different frequency bands. The frequency bands include a 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) frequency band, a 5 GHz frequency band, a 6 GHz frequency band, or a combination thereof, for instance. Antennas of an electronic device are located within the electronic device to facilitate the emission of radiation at the different frequency bands. The antennas are often located within a chassis of an electronic device, for instance. Other components of the electronic device are located within the chassis as well. The other components generate electromagnetic interference or noise that interferes with operations of the antennas in some instances. Some electronic devices include bulky noise suppression components around a noise source. The noise suppression components include a gasket, an absorber material, shielding, or other suitable components that isolate a noisy component. However, the noise suppression components reduce availability of space for other components, increase dimensions of the electronic device, increase a weight of the electronic device, or a combination thereof. Some electronic devices remove the noise suppression components. Removing the noise suppression components increases interference with operations of the antennas.

[0010] This disclosure describes example antenna modules having noise canceling circuits. In some examples, the antenna module includes multiple antennas that resonate in response to different frequency ranges. A frequency range, as used herein, is a subset of frequencies that are included in a frequency band. The noise canceling circuit is disposed within a cutout of a ground foil that couples a ground of the antenna to a ground of a system. The system is a display device, an electronic device, or a combination thereof. The noise canceling circuit is disposed on a non-conducting substrate within the cutout, for example. The ground is a metal portion of a chassis of the electronic device, for example. In some examples, the noise canceling circuit includes a first resonating element and a second resonating element. The first resonating element has a length that is a half wavelength or a quarter wavelength of a frequency range of the antenna. The second resonating element has a length that is a quarter wavelength of the frequency range of the antenna. In some examples, the first resonating element is based on a first frequency range of the antenna, and the second resonating element is based on a second frequency range of the antenna. In other examples, the noise canceling circuit includes a resistor (R), inductor (L), capacitor (C) circuit (RLC circuit). The RLC circuit provides matching, filtering, or a combination thereof. In various examples, the noise canceling circuit includes a resonating element, an LC circuit, switches, a tuner, or a combination thereof. The LC circuit provides matching, filtering, or a combination thereof. The resonating element has a length that is a half wavelength or a quarter wavelength. In some examples, the tuner couples to a controller of the electronic device. In response to detection of different frequencies, the controller causes the tuner to enable or disable the switches to filter out noises in response to a detected frequency.

[0011] By locating the noise canceling circuit within the ground foil, the noise canceling circuit does not increase a footprint of the antenna module. By utilizing the antenna having the noise canceling circuit, use of bulky noise suppression components is reduced. Reduction of use of the noise suppression components increases availability of space for other components, reduces dimensions of the electronic device, reduces a weight of the electronic device, or a combination thereof. By utilizing the antenna module having the noise canceling circuit, interference with operations of the antennas is reduced.

[0034] The chassis 402 includes portions 406, 408. In some examples, the chassis 402 has a plastic portion and a metal portion. A portion 406 is the plastic portion, for example. In other examples, the portion 406 is another suitable material that enables propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves. A portion 408 is the metal portion, for example. The chassis 402 includes an internal side and an external side. The antenna module 416 is disposed behind the display panel 404 on the plastic portion (e.g., the portion 406) of the internal side of the chassis 402. While the antenna module 416 is described above as a single module (e.g., the antenna module 100, 200, 300) including the noise canceling circuit 420, in other examples, the antenna 418 and the noise canceling circuit 420 are separate components. The antenna 418 is any suitable antenna for enabling wireless communications within a frequency band. The antenna 418 enables wireless communications within the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) frequency band, the 5 GHz frequency band, the 6 GHz frequency band, the Global Positioning System (GPS) frequency bands, the BLUETOOTH frequency band, the Wide Wireless Area Network (WWAN) frequency bands, or other suitable frequency band for wireless communications, for example. The antenna 418 and the noise canceling circuit 420 are disposed behind the display panel 404 on the plastic portion of the internal side of the chassis 402. The noise canceling circuit 420 is disposed within a cutout of the ground foil 414. As described above with respect to the noise canceling circuit 104, 204, 304 of FIG. 1, 2, 3, respectively, the noise canceling circuit 420 includes a substrate disposed within a cutout of the ground foil 414, for example.

[0035] In various examples, the controller 410 couples to the storage device 412, and the coaxial cable 422. The storage device 412 couples to the controller 410. While in some examples, the storage device 412 is shown as a separate component, on other examples, the storage device is integrated within a chip including the controller 410. In some examples, the storage device 412 includes machine-readable instructions 424. The machine-readable instructions 424, when executed by the controller 410, cause the controller 410 to perform some or all of the actions attributable to the controller 410. The machine-readable instructions 424 cause the controller 410 to perform some or all of the operations described below with respect to FIG. 5, for example. The ground foil 414 couples to the metal portion (e.g., the portion 408) of the internal side of the chassis 402, the antenna 418, and the noise canceling circuit 420. The ground foil 414 may be coupled to the noise canceling circuit 420, the antenna 418, or a combination thereof, as described above with respect to FIG. 1, 2, or 3, for example.

[0036] In some examples, the noise canceling circuit 420 includes a resonating element (e.g., the resonating element 318) and a filter having a first end coupled to the resonating element and a second end coupled to the ground foil 414. For example, the filter is an RC circuit, an RLC circuit, an LC circuit, or other suitable circuit including passive elements. Different couplings of the elements of the RLC circuit generate different types of filters. The types of filter include a low-pass filter, a high-pass filter, a band-pass filter, or a band-stop filter, for example. The low-pass filter enables signals having frequencies that are less than a cutoff frequency to pass through and attenuates signals having frequencies that are equivalent to or greater than the cutoff frequency. The high-pass filter enables signals having frequencies that are greater than the cutoff frequency to pass through and attenuates signal having frequencies that are equivalent to or below the cutoff frequency to attenuate. The band-pass filter enables signals having frequencies within a frequency bandwidth to pass through and attenuates signals having frequencies outside the frequency bandwidth. The band-stop filter enables signals having frequencies outside the frequency bandwidth to pass through and attenuates signals within the frequency bandwidth. The couplings of the RLC circuit to the resonating element and the ground foil 414 are based on the type of filter. The type of filter is selected based on a specified operation. For example, the type of filter that may be used to amplify a signal.

[0037] For example, the resonating element is to resonate in response to detection of a signal having a frequency. In response to the frequency being below a cutoff frequency, the filter enables propagation of the signal. In response to the frequency being equivalent to or above the cutoff frequency, the filter disables propagation of (e.g., attenuates) the signal.

[0038] In another example, the resonating element is to resonate in response to detection of a signal having a frequency. In response to the frequency being below a first cutoff frequency and above a second cutoff frequency, the filter enables propagation of the signal. In response to the frequency being equivalent to or above the first cutoff frequency or equivalent to or below the second cutoff frequency, the filter disables propagation of the signal.

[0039] In some examples, the machine-readable instructions 424, cause the controller 410 to control switches (e.g., the switches 310, 312) in response to measurements of a detected signal of the antenna 418. The switches enable or disable different types of filters, for example. For example, the noise canceling circuit 420 includes a multiplexer (e.g., the tuner circuit 308). In response to a determination of a frequency of the detected signal, the controller 410 generates a control signal for the multiplexer. In response to the control signal, the multiplexer causes the switches to open or close. For example, in response to the detected signal having a frequency within a first frequency range, the controller 410 controls the switches to enable a low-pass filter. In response to the detected signal having a frequency within a second frequency range, the controller 410 controls the switches to enable a high-pass filter. In response to the detected signal having a frequency within a third frequency range, the controller 410 controls the switches to enable a band-pass filter. In response to the detected signal having a frequency within a fourth frequency range, the controller 410 controls the switches to enable a band-stop filter.

[0044] In various examples, the lid section 502 couples to the hinge section 506. The base section 504 couples to the hinge section 506. The hinge section 506 couples to the lid section 502 and the base section 504. In some examples, the controller 524 couples to the storage device 526 and the ground foil 520 via a metal trace 522. The metal trace 522 is disposed within the lid section 502, the base section 504, and the hinge section 506, for example.

[0045] The ground foil 520 couples to the metal portion (e.g., the portion 513) of the internal side of the chassis 508, the antenna 516, and the noise canceling circuit 518. The ground foil 520 couples to the noise canceling circuit 518, the antenna 516, or a combination thereof, as described above with respect to FIG. 1, 2, or 3, for example. In some examples, the storage device 526 includes machine-readable instructions. The machine-readable instructions are the machine-readable instructions 424, for example. The machine-readable instructions, when executed by the controller 524, cause the controller 524 to perform some or all of the actions attributable to the controller 524.

[0046] In various examples, the noise canceling circuit 518 includes a resonating element (e.g., the resonating element 110, 112, 214, 216, 318) and a filter (e.g., the resistive element 208, the inductive element 210, 314, the capacitive element 212, 316) having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal couples to the resonating element. The noise canceling circuit 518 includes a tuner (e.g., the tuner circuit 308) coupled to a first end of a switch (e.g., the switch 310, 312) and to the ground foil 520. The tuner detects a frequency of the resonating element, and, in response to the frequency, causes the second terminal to couple to a second end of the switch.

[0047] In some examples, the filter is a first filter and the switch is a first switch. The noise canceling circuit 518 includes a second filter (e.g., the resistive element 208, the inductive element 210, 314, the capacitive element 212, 316) having a third terminal and a fourth terminal. The third terminal couples to the resonating element. The tuner couples to a first end of a second switch (e.g., the switch 310, 312) and to the ground foil 520. In response to the frequency, the tuner causes the fourth terminal to decouple from a second end of the second switch.

[0048] In various examples, the tuner detects a second frequency of the resonating element. In response to the second frequency, the tuner causes the fourth terminal to couple to the second end of the second switch and the second terminal to decouple from the second end of the first switch. In other examples, the tuner detects a third frequency of the resonating element. In response to the third frequency, the tuner causes the fourth terminal to couple to the second end of the second switch and the second terminal to couple to the second end of the first switch. In some examples, the tuner detects a fourth frequency of the resonating element. In response to the fourth frequency, the tuner causes the fourth terminal to decouple from the second end of the second switch and the second terminal to decouple from the second end of the first switch. In some examples, as described above with respect to FIG. 4, the storage device 526 includes machine-readable instructions, which, when executed by the controller 524, causes the controller 524 to transmit control signals to cause the tuner to control the switches.

[0049] Referring now to FIG. 6, a timing diagram 600 of a system (e.g., the display device 400, the electronic device 500) including a noise canceling circuit (e.g., the noise canceling circuit 104, 204, 304, 420, 518) is shown, in accordance with various examples. The signal 602 indicates a performance of the system when the noise canceling circuit is not present in the system. The signal 604 indicates a noise specification (e.g., noise limit) of −88 dBm. The signal 606 is a signal that a first configuration of the noise canceling circuit enables. The first configuration is for a WI-FI 2.4 GHz performance, for example. The signal 608 is a signal that a second configuration of the noise canceling circuit enables. The second configuration is for a WI-FI 5 GHz performance, for example. The signal 610 is a signal that a third configuration of the noise canceling circuit enables. The third configuration is for a WI-FI 6 E performance, for example. The signal 612 is a signal that a fourth configuration of the noise canceling circuit enables. The fourth configuration is for carrier aggregation performance. The carrier aggregation aggregates the WI-FI 2.4 GHz, WI-FI 5 GHz, WI-FI 6 E, or a combination thereof, for example.

[0050] The signals 606, 608, 610, 612 having values below the signal 602 shows that the noise canceling circuit reduces interference of signals received by the system. In various examples, signals that have values below the signal 604 indicate that the signals pass the noise specification. The signal 606 having values below the signal 604 for the frequencies between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz shows that the noise canceling circuit having the first configuration reduces interference of signal 606 having frequencies within the 2.4 GHz frequency band received by the system. The signal 608 having values below the signal 604 for the frequencies between approximately 5 GHz and 6 GHz shows that the noise canceling circuit having the second configuration reduces interference of signal having frequencies within the 5 GHz frequency band received by the system. The signal 610 having values below the signal 604 for the frequencies between 5.5 GHz and 7.25 GHz shows that the noise canceling circuit having the third configuration reduces interference of signal having frequencies of the 6 E frequency band received by the system. The signal 612 having values below the signal 604 for the frequencies between 5.2 GHz and 7.2 GHz shows that the noise canceling circuit having the fourth configuration reduces interference of signal having frequencies of a carrier aggregation frequency band received by the system.

[0051] The above description is meant to be illustrative of the principles and various examples of the present description. Numerous variations and modifications become apparent to those skilled in the art once the above description is fully appreciated. It is intended that the following claims be interpreted to embrace all such variations and modifications.

[0052] In the figures, certain features and components disclosed herein are shown in exaggerated scale or in somewhat schematic form, and some details of certain elements are not shown in the interest of clarity and conciseness. In some of the figures, in order to improve clarity and conciseness, a component or an aspect of a component are omitted.

[0053] In the above description and in the claims, the term “comprising” is used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean “including, but not limited to . . . ” Also, the term “couple” or “couples” is intended to be broad enough to encompass both direct and indirect connections. Thus, if a first device couples to a second device, that connection may be through a direct connection or through an indirect connection via other devices, components, and connections. Additionally, the word “or” is used in an inclusive manner. For example, “A or B” means any of the following: “A” alone, “B” alone, or both “A” and “B.”
