Wireless communication arrangement

摘要

A wireless communication arrangement (100a) with multiple antennas for a vehicle includes a first printed circuit board (110) having a modem unit (111) and a radiating antenna element (113); a second printed circuit board (120) having a radiating antenna element (123); an interface unit (112) disposed on the first printed circuit board (110) and/or the second printed circuit board (120); and a main bendable portion (130) bendably and electrically connecting the first printed circuit board (110) and the second primed circuit board (120) to each other. The first printed circuit board (110) and the second printed circuit board (120) are mountable on an outer surface of a vehicle in non-horizontal orientation with respect to said outer surface, with the first printed circuit board (110) and the second printed circuit board (120) forming a convex like shape in a horizontal direction via bending of the main bendable portion (130).

主权项

1. A wireless communication apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
a first rigid printed circuit board; a first modem unit disposed on the first rigid printed circuit board; at least one radiating antenna element at least partly embedded in the first rigid printed circuit board; a second rigid printed circuit board; at least one radiating antenna element at least partly embedded in the second rigid printed circuit board; at least one interface unit disposed on at least one of the first rigid printed circuit board or the second rigid printed circuit board; and a main bendable portion bendably and electrically connecting the first rigid printed circuit board and the second rigid printed circuit board, wherein the first rigid printed circuit board and the second rigid printed circuit board are configured to be mountable on an outer surface of a vehicle in non-horizontal positions with respect to a mounting area of the outer surface, with the first rigid printed circuit board and the second rigid printed circuit board forming a convex like shape in a horizontal direction via bending of the main bendable portion, and at least one of the first rigid printed circuit board or the second rigid printed circuit board comprise at least one additional bendable portion, which is bendable at least one of inwards and outwards with respect to the convex like shape.
