Abstract
An antenna is provided for a wearable personal computing device, such as an earbud. The antenna integrates with other components of the wearable device, such as an input control. For example, the antenna may at least partially surround a portion of a touchpad input at a surface of the device that is exposed when the device is worn. In one example, the antenna shares a ground plane with the touchpad. In another example, the antenna includes two nested traces, wherein a first trace is connected to ground and a second trace is connected to an antenna feed.
