Space- and cost-efficient antenna apparatus and methods of making and using the same. In one embodiment, the antenna is formed using a deposition process, whereby a conductive fluid or other material is deposited directly on one or more interior components of a host device (e.g., cellular phone or tablet computer). The antenna can be formed in a substantially three-dimensional 'loop' shape, and obviates several costly and environmentally unfriendly processing steps and materials associated with prior art antenna manufacturing approaches.

Deposition antenna apparatus and methods

Improved form-less electronic apparatus and methods for manufacturing the same. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus comprises a shape-core inductive device having a bonded-wire coil which is formed and maintained within the device without resort to a bobbin or other form(er). The absence of the bobbin simplifies the manufacture of the device, reduces its cost, and allows it to be made more compact (or alternatively additional functionality to be disposed therein). One variant utilizes a termination header for mating to a PCB or other assembly, while another totally avoids the use of the header by directly mating to the PCB. Multi-core variants and methods of manufacturing are also disclosed.

Form-less electronic device assemblies and methods of operation

Improved electrical connector apparatus including a wireless antenna acting as a transceiver in conjunction with a wireless integrated circuit is disclosed. In one embodiment, the modular connector comprises an RJ45 modular jack, and the wireless transceiver comprises a Bluetooth transceiver transmitting via an integrated antenna disposed on the front face of the Faraday shield at least partly surrounding the modular connector. In another embodiment, an 802.11 transceiver is used. In yet another embodiment, an ultra-wideband (UWB) interface is used.
