Abstract
A dipole antenna assembly for an electronic device includes a rear mount having electronic components exposed at one of its surfaces, an antenna, a printed circuit board, and a battery. The antenna may be adjacent the rear flexible mount. The antenna includes a first portion and a second portion. The second portion comprises a transmission line. The printed circuit board can be connected to the antenna and the battery can be connected to a portion of the rear flexible mount and the printed circuit board. A positive arm of the dipole antenna assembly can include the battery, and a negative arm of the dipole antenna assembly can include the outside surface of the transmission line.

A dipole antenna assembly for an electronic device comprising:
- a rear mount having electronic components exposed at a surface thereof;
- an antenna adjacent the rear mount, the antenna including a first portion and a second portion, the second portion comprising a transmission line;
- a printed circuit board attached to the antenna;
- and
- a battery connected to a portion of the rear mount and connected to the printed circuit board,
- wherein a positive arm of the dipole antenna assembly comprises the battery and a negative arm of the dipole antenna assembly comprises the transmission line.
A dipole antenna assembly for an electronic device comprising:
- an antenna having a first portion and a second portion;
- a battery joined to the first portion;
- a printed circuit board joined to the second portion;
- and
- chokes constructed and arranged to impede a flow of RF current within the dipole antenna assembly, wherein the flow of RF current flows across an area of the dipole antenna assembly extending between the battery and printed circuit board.
A head mounted device, the head-mounted device comprising:
- a central eyeglass frame;
- a first side arm extending away from a first end of the central eyeglass frame;
- a display connected to the first side arm and providing images to a user;
- and
- a dipole antenna assembly positioned within the first side arm, the dipole antenna assembly further comprising:
- a battery forming a positive arm of the dipole assembly;
- another component of the head-mounted device forming a negative arm of the dipole antenna assembly;
- and
- an antenna joining the battery and the another component together.
