Abstract
An antenna assembly having a radiating element and a circuit board is provided. The radiating element is coupled to the circuit board by a conductive extension and hook portion where the hook portion extends into and possibly through a bore on the circuit board.
Claims19
A circuit board and radiator for use in an antenna assembly comprising:
- a circuit board the circuit board comprising a power connection to couple;
- to a radio frequency power supply;
- a radiator coupled to the circuit board;
- a conductive path contained on the circuit board connecting the power connection to the radiator;
