  • Publication number: 20200358189
    Abstract: A wireless device with an antenna plate includes one or more components; and at least one antenna integrally formed with the antenna plate. The at least one antenna has a low frequency section and a high frequency section, wherein the high frequency section has a slot, the dimensions of the slot being formed in part by a parasitic arm formed within the high frequency section. A method for manufacturing a wireless device having an antenna plate includes stamping a metallic sheet to form the antenna plate having at least one antenna element; and folding the at least one dual-band antenna element about a portion of a perimeter of the stamped sheet forming an upper surface, a side wall and a lower surface of the at least one antenna element.
