  • Patent number: 8179323
    Abstract: A conductive layer is applied to a thermoformed plastic component to form an integrated antenna assembly. The conductive layer is on a flexible layer and adhered or attached to the rigid thermoformed plastic carrier. Features are designed into the thermoformed plastic carrier to provide electrical contacts from the conductive layer to the circuit board of the communication device and to mechanically attach the carrier to the circuit board. Multiple conductive layers can be applied to a multi-layered thermoformed structure to form a multi-antenna assembly.
