Abstract
A surface mounted CHIP antenna is provided for a wireless communications device such as a wireless modem, cellular telephone, personal digital assistant, etc. The antenna is mounted directly to the circuit board of the unit and exhibits electrical performance equivalent to a traditional external antenna. The antenna includes a conductive trace which is embedded or encapsulated in a high temperature, non-conductive dielectric material. One end of the trace has a transceiver circuit lead protruding therefrom which is soldered to the feed of the transceiver circuit. One or more ground plane leads protrude from the other end of the body member and are soldered to the ground plane. The ground plane lead is electrically insulated from the trace.
