  • EXTENDABLE ANTENNA ARCHITECTURE
    Publication number: 20070268195
    Abstract: A system and apparatus for an extendable antenna architecture are described. The apparatus may include an antenna body having one or more antenna traces, and an antenna housing to couple to the antenna body. The antenna housing may have an extended position and a retracted position. The antenna housing may have a first external surface forming a substantially continuous plane with a second external surface for a device housing when in the retracted position. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
