Abstract
A system that provides communication using an antenna formed by a gap between a circuit board and a housing of a lighting fixture. A first end of the gap corresponds to a first grounding point that electrically connects the circuit board and the housing and a second end of the gap corresponds to a second grounding point that electrically connects the circuit board and the housing. The distance between the first grounding point and the second grounding point defines a length of the gap and determines an operational frequency of the antenna.
