A housing defines a face bounded by opposed longitudinal and opposed lateral sidewalls. At least one conductive portion of at least one longitudinal sidewall is electrically isolated from at least one conductive portion of at least one of the lateral sidewalls by at least one corner section that is non-conductive or electrically floating. At least one antenna element internal to the housing is electrically coupled to radio frequency circuitry; and a conductor configured to electrically couple the at least one conductive portion of the at least one lateral sidewall between the opposed longitudinal portions to a ground plane. In a specific embodiment, there are two opposed corner sections each defined by first and second gaps, and the lateral conductive portion between the corner sections parasitically couples to the antenna element when transmitting or receiving. The corner sections may each have a corner conductive portion which are isolated by the gaps. |
