Claim:
1. An antenna assembly for an electronic device, the antenna assembly, comprising: a conductive structure for housing at least a printed circuit board of the electronic device, the conductive structure including a base plate, a front plate and a side plate, the front plate and side plate extending perpendicularly from the base plate, an antenna including a radiating part formed as a slot in the front plate and an excitation part formed as a linear slot in the base plate connected to and extending from the radiating part where the front and base plate meet, wherein the radiating part has a tapered shape tapering towards the excitation part and divides the front plate, a feeding element for feeding the antenna by electromagnetic coupling, the feeding element being positioned between the base plate and the circuit board, and orientated to extend across said excitation part and wherein the excitation part being configured to electromagnetically couple with the feeding element, the feeding element being connected to a feed line on the circuit board, wherein the printed circuit board lies on the base plate and comrises a ground plane positioned at a predetermined distance from the front plate, the ground plane being provided with openings positioned in alignment with the feeding element and the excitation part of the slot.
