Abstract
A symbology reader includes an optical reading assembly received in a reading assembly housing and an antenna shaped to conform to at least a portion of the reading assembly housing and in contact therewith. The antenna can be shaped to form at least a partial enclosure for the optical reading assembly, thus eliminating part or all of the reading housing assembly. A module for use in an imager can include an optical reading assembly mounted in a housing and an antenna having a shape that is complimentary to a shape of at least a portion of the housing. Similarly, an antenna for an imager can include a conductive member having a shape at least partially conforming to a shape of a reading assembly housing in an imager.
