Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for maintaining a coupling gap between a coupling element and a radiating element using an antenna carrier includes: applying, by one or more springs disposed on an inner surface of the antenna carrier, a first lateral force on the antenna carrier; causing, by the first lateral force, the antenna carrier to translate outwardly toward an edge of a mounting surface, the antenna carrier slidably coupled to the mounting surface; receiving, by one or more standoffs disposed on an outer surface of the antenna carrier, a second lateral force from an inside surface of a device cover; causing, by the second lateral force, the antenna carrier to translate inwardly away from the edge of the mounting surface; and causing, by the first lateral force and the second lateral force, the standoffs to maintain the coupling gap between the coupling element and the radiating element.
