Abstract: An assembly for a hearing aid is disclosed. The hearing aid with the assembly includes an in the ear part and a behind the ear part and a part mechanically interconnecting the two parts. In the interconnection, a flexible substrate is arranged. The flexible substrate includes conductive paths. The conductive paths may be used for communication between the in the ear part and the behind the ear part, and/or for an antenna function.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An antenna (11) includes a patch antenna element (22) capacitively coupled to a load patch (27). A switch (33) connects the load patch (27) to one of one or more strip lines (35, 37, 40), each of which has a different length. Each strip lines causes the load patch (27) to have a different impedance, with one causing a short circuit, one causing an open circuit, and one causing an impedance in between these extremes. Different impedances of the load patch (27) cause different frequencies of operation of the antenna patch (22) by virtue of the capacitive coupling therebetween. The antenna (11) is thereby tuneable to three separate frequencies. Other frequency bands are unaffected by virtue of the location of the load patch (27) relative to the antenna patch (22). By allowing tuning by way of controlling the impedance of the load patch (27), the antenna arrangement can be made smaller than a corresponding passive antenna operable at the same frequencies.
