A communication device has an integrated antenna assembly of a collectively smaller footprint by nesting a patch antenna within a coil. The antenna assembly includes a first ferrite layer positioned on and supported by a first ground plane. The coil is positioned over and supported by the first ferrite layer and has a first interior perimeter edge. The patch antenna has a first footprint size that is smaller than, and positioned within, the first interior perimeter edge of the coil. In an example, the patch antenna may be configured to perform functions of one or more of a global positioning system antenna, a satellite communication antenna, and an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna). The coil may be configured to perform functions of at least one of a near field communication (NFC) antenna and a wireless charging (WLC) coil.
