Abstract
Safety radio devices are described herein. One method of constructing a safety radio device includes mounting a radio module on a first layer of a circuit board, fabricating an antenna on a second layer of the circuit board, and constructing a safety radio device by connecting the radio module to the antenna through an aperture formed in the second layer of the circuit board.
Claims19
A method of constructing a safety radio device, comprising:
- coating at least a portion of a radio module in an epoxy material;
- mounting the radio module on an exterior surface of the safety radio device via a first layer of a circuit board;
- fabricating an antenna on a surface of a second layer of the circuit board, such that a radiating element of the antenna extends along a portion of the surface of the second layer of the circuit board and is located between the second layer of the circuit board and the first layer of the circuit board;
- and
- constructing a safety radio device by connecting the radio module to the antenna through an aperture formed in between the first layer and the second layer of the circuit board.

A safety radio device system, comprising:
- a radio module mounted on an exterior surface of a first device via an outer layer of a circuit board of the first device, wherein the radio module is at least partially coated in an epoxy material;
- an antenna fabricated on a surface of an inner layer of the circuit board, such that a radiating element of the antenna extends along a portion of the surface of the second layer of the circuit board and is located between the inner layer of the circuit board and the outer layer of the circuit board,
- wherein the antenna is connected to the radio module through a via extending between the outer layer of the circuit board and the inner layer of the circuit board;
- and
- wherein the antenna and radio module are used for signaling to a second device.
2 more elements
A safety radio device, comprising:
- a multi-layer circuit board having an inner layer and an outer layer;
- an antenna fabricated on a surface of the inner layer of the circuit board, such that a radiating element of the antenna extends along a portion of the surface of the second layer of the circuit board and is located between the inner layer of the circuit board and the outer layer of the circuit board;
- and
- a radio module mounted on an exterior surface of the safety radio device via the outer layer of the circuit board,
- wherein the antenna is connected to the radio module through a via extending between the inner circuit board layer and the outer circuit board layer and wherein the radio module is at least partially coated in an epoxy material.
