Publication number: 20120235879Abstract: An antenna shape can be inked onto a thin film and then the thin film can be shaped to form a three dimensional (3D) flex-film. The 3D flex-film can then be integrated into a carrier using conventional molding processes. The resultant housing includes a carrier that supports the 3D flex-film on an inner or outer surface of the carrier. The resultant housing thus allows for improved integration of an antenna with a housing so as to provide a more desirable housing for devices that can benefit from the corresponding antenna, such as, but not limited to, mobile devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2010Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Andreas Eder, Wilfried Hedderich, Thomas Wagner, Mads Sager
