Patent ID: 7564415

Claim:
An antenna system for remote control applications comprising: a communications module; a printed circuit board including an antenna assembly disposed thereon and a ground plane; a coaxial cable terminator having a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to the ground plane of the printed circuit board and the second end extending and terminating laterally outwardly from the printed circuit board; and a radio frequency cable having a first connection end and a second connection end, the first connection end being coupled to the communications module and the second connection end being coupled to the printed circuit board, the second connection end including a center conductor for communicating signals and a coaxial shield encircling the center conductor and terminating substantially in the second end of the coaxial cable terminator, the center conductor including a portion extending from the coaxial shield and the second end of the coaxial cable terminator and having a substantially 90 degree bend beyond the second end of the coaxial cable terminator, the substantially 90 degree bend extending the portion of the center conductor laterally inwardly for connecting it with the antenna disposed on the printed circuit board.
