Retractable antenna structure for use in telecommunications device

Telecommunications device comprising a cavity and a retractable antenna structure which is movably mounted in said cavity, such that the antenna structure is retractable into the cavity for storage and extensible from the cavity for operation, wherein the antenna structure comprises

• a slide portion adapted for movably mounting the antenna structure in a cavity of a telecommunications device, such that the antenna structure is retractable into the cavity for storage and extensible from the cavity for operation, and
• an antenna portion carrying a flat radiation element for establishing at least one wireless network connection,
• wherein the antenna portion comprises a first wing carrying a first part of the radiation element and a second wing carrying a second part of the radiation element, the wings being pivotally connected to each other between a storage position in which the wings lie on top of each other and an operational position in which the wings are spaced apart and are non-coplanar,
• wherein the antenna portion further comprises at least one resilient member acting on at least one of the wings for spacing the wings apart and
• wherein the first and second parts of the flat radiation element have radiation patterns of predetermined shapes adapted to obtain a dipole-like operation in the non-coplanar operational position.
