Abstract: A multi-position antenna assembly for use in portable wireless communication devices is disclosed. The assembly includes an antenna, a printed circuit board operative to electrically couple the antenna to a host device, a disk joint assembly, coupled to the antenna, operative to rotate the antenna about two axes of rotation, and an assembly housing which at least partially contains the printed circuit board and the disk joint assembly, and is adapted to be removably coupled to the host device. The disk joint assembly includes a joint housing having a projection piece which passes through the joint housing that enables the antenna to be positioned between alternating operating and storage positions within a PC card.
