  • Patent number: 8669905
    Abstract: The invention relates to a communication device comprising a wireless interface for enabling wireless transmission and/or reception at a predefined wavelength ?c to be established. The object of the present invention is to provide an antenna suitable for wireless communication in a portable communication device. The problem is solved in that the communication device comprises a housing having an electrically conductive part, the wireless interface comprising an antenna comprising a first quarter wavelength patch and a ground plane comprising an electrically conductive material, the first quarter wavelength patch being at least partially constituted by said electrically conductive part of the housing. This has the advantage of providing an alternative wireless interface for a communication device. The invention may e.g. be used in portable communication devices with a wireless interface for communication with another device, in particular in a headset or a headphone or an active earplug.
