Automatically oriented antenna for a hand-held communication device

摘要

A hand-held communication device with an automatically oriented antenna fixed thereto and including a closed container at least partially filled with liquid. A floating element including a patch antenna is positioned within the cavity and carried by the liquid so as to maintain the patch antenna in a continuous orientation. An electrical coupling is formed between the patch antenna and the hand-held communication device to operatively couple the patch antenna for receiving transmissions in the hand-held communication device.
