US 2016/0261020 A1 · Antenna for an Aerosol Delivery Device

Abstract

An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes at least one housing, and a control component and communication interface contained within the housing. The control component is configured to control operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device based on a detected flow of air through at least a portion of the housing. The communication interface coupled to the control component and configured to enable wireless communication. The communication interface including an antenna, and the housing and antenna are being electrically resonant and tightly coupled in a manner that forms dipole antenna.
