Abstract: Multiple-antenna configurations with at least one embedded antenna. At least one cable in a group of antenna cables functions as an embedded antenna by being configured with some or all of a second of coaxial cable shielding being removed. Multiple embedded antennae may be provided in a multiple-antenna configuration.

Abstract: A method is provided for designing a printed circuit board. This may include analyzing at least one characteristic of a first plurality of relatively parallel conductive paths on the printed circuit board. The first plurality of relatively parallel conductive paths may be arranged in a pattern in a first area of the printed circuit board. The method may also include rearranging the pattern of conductive paths such that a second plurality of relatively parallel conductive paths in a second area of the printed circuit board have a different geometry or arrangement with respect to one another as compared to a geometry or arrangement of the first plurality of relatively parallel conductive paths in the first area.

Abstract: One or more dipole antennas are provided for wireless communications external to a conductive chassis of a communication device. The antenna, which may be initially in a folded position, may be inserted through a hole in the conductive chassis from an inside. An axial element may be retracted to expand a non-conductive structural element of the antenna on an outside side of the chassis. The non-conductive element has conductors disposed thereon to form the one or more dipoles. The axial element may be locked to prevent the antenna from retracting. The antenna may receive and transmit communications in more than one frequency range.
