Abstract

A headset, a circuit structure of a mobile apparatus, and a mobile apparatus are provided. The headset includes at least one earphone, a microphone, an audio plug, and a headset cable. The audio plug includes a connector having a plurality of contacts. The microphone and the at least one earphone is coupled to the corresponding contacts of the audio plug through the headset cable. The headset cable includes a ground line, a microphone line, at least one audio line, and an antenna for receiving a television broadcasting signal. The antenna is coupled to one of the contacts coupled to the ground line, the microphone line, and the at least one audio line. The one of the contacts to which the antenna is coupled further serves as a radio frequency contact to provide the television broadcasting signal and an audio broadcasting signal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A headset, comprising:
at least one earphone;
a microphone;
an audio plug including a connector having a plurality of contacts; and
a headset cable, wherein the microphone and the at least one earphone is coupled to the corresponding contacts of the audio plug through the headset cable, including:
a ground line;
a microphone line;
at least one audio line; and
an antenna for receiving a television broadcasting signal, coupled through a capacitive element to one of the contacts coupled to the ground line, the microphone line, and the at least one audio line, and the one of the contacts to which the antenna for receiving the television broadcasting signal is coupled further serves as a radio frequency contact to provide the television broadcasting signal and an audio broadcasting signal, wherein the contacts not serving as the radio frequency contact are not coupled to the capacitive element.

2. The headset according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna for receiving the television broadcasting signal comprises a conductor disposed within the headset cable, and the conductor surrounds at least portions of the ground line, the microphone line, and the at least one audio line.

3. The headset according to claim 2 , wherein the antenna for receiving the television broadcasting signal has a length not less than a quarter wavelength at a frequency within a frequency band for television broadcasting.

4. The headset according to claim 3 , wherein one of the microphone line and at least one audio line serves as an antenna for receiving the audio broadcasting signal, and the antenna for receiving the audio broadcasting signal is coupled to the radio frequency contact.

5. The headset according to claim 2 , wherein the conductor further serves as an antenna for receiving the audio broadcasting signal, and the radio frequency contact is one of the corresponding contacts coupled to the microphone line and at least one audio line.

6. The headset according to claim 5 , wherein the antenna for receiving the television broadcasting signal has a length not less than one wavelength at a frequency within a frequency band for television broadcasting.

7. The headset according to claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of chokes, wherein the corresponding contacts coupled to the ground line, the microphone line, and the at least one audio line are coupled to the respective chokes.

8. The headset according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one audio line includes a channel line and a return line for each of the at least one earphone and the return line is coupled to the one of the contacts coupled to the ground line through one of the chokes.

9. The headset according to claim 7 , wherein the capacitive element is coupled between the conductor and the radio frequency contact.

10. The headset according to claim 9 , wherein the chokes and the capacitive element are disposed within the audio plug.

11. The headset according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna for receiving the television broadcasting signal comprises a conductor and a transmission line coupled to the conductor, and the transmission line is separate from the ground line, the microphone line, and the at least one audio line.

12. The headset according to claim 11 , wherein the conductor is a meander antenna and the transmission line is for impedance matching with the conductor.

13. The headset according to claim 11 , wherein the capacitive element is coupled between the transmission line and the radio frequency contact.

14. The headset according to claim 13 , wherein one of the microphone line and at least one audio line serves as an antenna for receiving the audio broadcasting signal, and the antenna for receiving the audio broadcasting signal is coupled to the radio frequency contact.
