<p>An antenna assembly comprises an antenna 1, a circuit board 6 and components 9, and means 4, 8 for covering the circuitry whilst also retaining the antenna in physical connection to the circuit unit when the antenna and the circuit unit are brought together. Additionally, this device cover and retaining means 4, 8 takes the form of a deformable electrical coupler which provides an electrical coupling between the antenna and the circuit unit when the antenna and the circuit unit are brought together. The antenna is fixed via its ground region 3 to the cover 4, and this cover engages with lower member 8 and sprung pin 5 when the antenna unit is compressed onto the circuit unit. The cover 4 and lower member 8 are electrically conductive and make the ground connection between the antenna and the circuit. The sprung pin 5 makes the electrical feed connection to the antenna. The cover and retaining means may also act as a shielding device.</p> |
