Patent ID: 7750854

Claim:
Integrated speaker carrier and antenna element for a communication terminal, comprising: a sheet of a flexible film having a conductive first portion forming a first antenna element; and an elongated second portion carrying a conductive lead, the elongated second portion including an inner end that is adjacent to the conductive first portion and an outer end that is connected to a speaker, such that the elongated second portion has a length defined by the inner end and the outer end and extends away from the conductive first portion and the inner end to the speaker and the outer end along at least a portion of the length; wherein said elongated second portion is bent such that a primary audio output side of the speaker faces the first portion and that said speaker and said outer end of said elongated second portion are positioned at an aperture in said first portion, wherein a support structure carrying a second antenna element is arranged at a predetermined distance from said first antenna element, which said first and second antenna elements form a spacing for housing the speaker; and wherein said flexible film is made from an insulating material, and wherein said first conductive portion and said lead form parts of a layer of a conductive material coated on said flexible film.
