A mounting apparatus () comprises a plurality of flexible interconnected spacer segments () for receiving the antenna (), the plurality of flexible interconnected spacer segments provide a continuous offset () between the antenna and another surface. Each of the plurality of flexible interconnected spacer segments () comprises a unitarily molded flexible link, each link having a triangular cross sectional geometry () having an opening () on top () for receiving the antenna, and the top leading to a wider base for mounting to a surface. The links are separable () providing for a customizable length and form factor.

Flexible mounting apparatus for mounting an antenna

A flexible wire radiating element for a body-worn antenna has a length that meets a specified absorption rate (SAR) for a given transmit power, nominal frequency, and separation distance, and allows a higher transmit power than that achievable with a half wavelength element but is within substantially one decibel of efficiency. Using a plot of SAR over length, a minimum length necessary to meet the SAR limit is then mapped to a length corresponding to a peak in a horizontal efficiency plot.
