Patent ID: 7501986

Claim:
An antenna arrangement for a portable radio communication device including RF circuitry, said antenna arrangement comprising: a flexible antenna element ( 10 ) comprising a first and a second connection portion ( 17 , 18 ; 25 , 26 ); a support structure ( 9 ) supporting said flexible antenna element ( 10 ) and comprising a first and a second aperture ( 15 , 16 ; 23 , 24 ); and a first and a second connection device ( 11 , 12 ) for connecting said flexible antenna element antenna element ( 10 ) to the RF circuitry of the portable radio communication device, wherein said first connection device ( 11 ) is positioned in said first aperture ( 15 ; 23 ) and said second connection device ( 12 ) is positioned in said second aperture ( 16 ; 24 ), wherein said first and second connection devices ( 11 , 12 ) fixate said first and second connection portions ( 17 , 18 ; 25 , 26 ) to said support structure ( 9 ) and electrically connect said first and second connection portions ( 17 , 18 ; 25 , 26 ) to said first and second connection devices ( 11 , 12 ) by means of radial forces; and characterized in that said first connection portion ( 17 ; 25 ) extends in a first direction in a plane defined by said flexible antenna element ( 10 ) and said second connection portion ( 18 ; 26 ) extends in a second direction opposite said first direction, such that the sum of said extensions is constant irrespectively of mounting displacement of the antenna element on said support structure.
