An antenna radiator assembly ( 2 ) and radio communications assembly ( 1 ) comprising a circuit board ( 5 ) formed from dielectric layers dielectric layers ( 21, 22 ) supporting electrical conductors. The electrical conductors include a feed point conductive trace ( 23 ) and conductive sheets ( 7, 24 ) comprising a ground plane. An antenna radiator element ( 8 ) is spaced from the circuit board ( 5 ) and when viewed in plan view there is an overlapping area ( 25 ) where most of a surface area of the antenna radiator element ( 8 ) overlaps a surface area of the circuit board ( 26 ) thereby forming a sandwiched dielectric region ( 25 ). A feed point connector ( 11 ) couples the antenna radiator element ( 8 ) to the feed point conductive trace ( 23 ) and a ground connector ( 10 ) couples the antenna radiator element ( 8 ) to the ground plane. The circuit board dielectric layers ( 21, 22 ) in the sandwiched dielectric region ( 25 ) are disposed between the antenna radiator element ( 8 ) and the ground plane.
