Mobile wireless communications device comprising a satellite positioning system antenna and electrically conductive director element therefor

A mobile wireless communications device comprising:

• a circuit board;
• a dielectric extension extending outwardly from said circuit board adjacent an upper portion thereof;
• cellular transceiver circuitry on said circuit board;
• a cellular antenna adjacent a lower portion of said circuit board and coupled to said cellular transceiver circuitry;
• satellite positioning signal receiver circuitry on said circuit board;
• a satellite positioning system antenna on said dielectric extension and coupled to said satellite positioning signal receiver circuitry;
• and
• a passive antenna beam pattern director associated with said satellite positioning system antenna comprising at least one electrically conductive director element in spaced apart relation from said satellite positioning system antenna.

A method for making a mobile wireless communications device comprising:

• forming a circuit board having satellite positioning signal receiver circuitry and wireless transceiver circuitry thereon;
• forming a dielectric extension extending outwardly from the circuit board and having an antenna thereon;
• coupling the antenna on the dielectric extension to the satellite positioning signal receiver circuitry;
• and
• positioning a passive antenna beam pattern director comprising at least one electrically conductive director element in spaced apart relation from the antenna.
