Abstract
An electronics unit for wireless transfer of signals, includes an antenna part, an electronics part, and a transmission circuit part. The electronics part is placed on a laminate with at least one substrate layer of a dielectric material. The substrate layer is made of a flexible material and forms a continuous unit, including a first part which supports the electronics part, a second part which supports the antenna part, and a third part which supports the transmission circuit part. The second part of the substrate is formed to shape a convex surface, which supports groups of at least one antenna element. Since the surface is curved, the groups cover different directions.
Claims11
An electronics unit for wireless transfer of signals comprising an antenna part, an electronics part which is constructed on a laminate with at least one substrate layer of a dielectric material, and a transmission circuit part with transmission circuits which connect the electronics part to the antenna part, wherein said substrate layer is made from a flexible material, and the substrate layer forms one common continuous unit which comprises a first section which supports said electronics part, a second section which supports said antenna part, and a third section which supports said transmission circuit part, and wherein said second section of the substrate is bent to a curved shape, a convex surface of which supports groups of antennae comprising at least one antenna element each, which groups of antennae point in different directions due to the convex surface.
