Abstract
The disclosed swappable antenna component may include a carrier dimensioned to fit to an interior of an overmold window, wherein the overmold window may be overmolded to a gap of a frame of a computing device. Additionally, the swappable antenna component may include an antenna trace disposed in a conductive layer of the carrier to electronically couple to the computing device, wherein the antenna trace may be surrounded by a non-conductive material of the carrier. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
Claims11
A computing device comprising:
- a frame dimensioned to encompass electronic components;
- an overmold window overmolded to a gap of the frame to cover the gap such that an exterior surface of the overmold window is flush with an exterior surface of the frame;
- and
- a swappable antenna component bonded to an interior surface of the overmold window, wherein the swappable antenna component is electronically coupled to the electronic components, the swappable antenna component comprising:
- a carrier dimensioned to fit to an interior of the overmold window;
- and
- an antenna trace disposed in a conductive layer of the carrier.
