Abstract
A wristband with an internal antenna for a wristwatch-receiver has first and second band portions each adapted for coupling at first ends thereof to a receiver housing and an adjustable clasp for coupling opposed, second ends thereof to one another to encircle a wearer's wrist. The band portions include conductive metal strips within an insulative covering and mechanically and electrically coupled at one end to the receiver housing. The clasp is adjustably positioned on one band portion and includes a clampable/releasable conductive protrusion for electrically contacting segments of the metal strip exposed through openings in a portion of the insulative covering to form a continuous conductive loop within the wristband. The inner side of the band has a grid pattern of transverse and longitudinal ridges.
