  • Patent number: 12136775
    Abstract: An antenna structure is described that includes a flexible substrate and at least two antenna elements being formed from conductive traces on a layer of the flexible substrate. The antenna structure also includes a plurality of conductive traces formed on the layer of the flexible substrate with a first subset being electrically coupled as a lead in to a first one of the antenna elements and a second subset of the plurality of conductive traces being electrically coupled as a lead in to a second one of the antenna elements, wherein the first subset and the second subset are separately coupled electrically to one connector after insertion of an edge of the flexible substrate into the connector. An apparatus is described that includes a case, an electronic assembly, including a printed circuit board and a support bracket, contained within the case. The apparatus further includes the antenna assembly as described herein.
