Antenna system

摘要

A housing includes a 3-D composite structure. The structure includes a flex foil. An antenna trace is provided on a first surface of the flex foil. A shield, which may be a sheet, is positioned on the antenna trace. A resin is molded to the first surface, the shield and the antenna trace. The resultant structure allows for a thin-walled design that can communicate efficiently via wireless signals.
