Abstract
A portable computing device includes an antenna within its housing structure for wireless connectivity, where an upper partition of the housing structure is used to construct an antenna plane, and a ground plane is incorporated into a lower partition of the housing structure. In some cases, the antenna is capable of maintaining wireless connectivity over a wide frequency band. Some embodiments include a device mount external to the upper partition and the lower partition of the housing structure that enables mounting the portable computing device to another entity, such as a user. In some cases, the device mount is external to the antenna used by the portable computing device, and does not include any portions of the antenna.
