Abstract
In this paper, we analyzed the RF interactions between WWAN antennas and an LCD driving module inside the cover of a notebook computer, and discussed reduction method of RF coupling. In order to simulate the RF noise source from the LCD driving module, a multi-band antenna was designed and used with a simplified notebook model to test the RF coupling phenomena. We verified that the RF noise coupling is enhanced at certain frequencies due to cavity structure formed inside the notebook computer. Also, we showed that conductive barrier walls, which are inserted inside the notebook, could be effective in reducing RF coupling.
