Patent ID: 7679568

Claim:
An antenna assembly comprising a support structure, a radiating structure and at least one feeding clip, said antenna assembly for mounting on a PCB in a mobile communication device, said support structure comprises a top side part to be oriented substantially parallel with said PCB and at least partly surrounding side parts supporting said top part so that said top part and said side parts form a box-like structure to be mounted on said PCB with said top side part away from the surface of said PCB, said radiating structure comprises at least one contact area, said contact area is provided on a surrounding side part by folding of said radiating structure over an edge of said top side part onto said surrounding side part, said feeding clip is mounted on one of said surrounding side parts and includes a first spring loaded portion exerting a contact force against said contact area for achieving electrical contact between said radiating structure and said feeding clip, said feeding clip includes a second spring loaded portion extending out and away from said surrounding side portion and exerting a contact force against a first contact area on said PCB for achieving electrical contact between circuitry located on said PCB and said feeding clip when said antenna assembly is mounted on said PCB, and said feeding clip includes a beam portion that is substantially U-shaped when viewed from the first and second spring loaded portions, the U-shaped beam portion located between the first spring loaded portion and the second spring loaded portion.
