A capacitively back-coupled wireless terminal ( 10 ) comprises a PCB ( 22 ) having a ground conductor ( 24 ) on one surface. A back coupling capacitor (C) is carried by the ground conductor. An elongate slot ( 30 ) is provided in the ground conductor to widen the bandwidth. An electromagnetic shield ( 32 ) is provided on the side of the PCB ( 22 ) which in use is facing a lossy dielectric in order to reduce the SAR. The shield is disposed adjacent to, but spaced from, the slot ( 30 ) in the ground conductor and the back coupling capacitor. For narrowband operation the slot may be omitted and/or the spacing between the PCB ( 22 ) and the shield ( 32 ) may be reduced. |
