Abstract
The invention concerns generally the technological field of planar antenna arrangements in portable radio devices. Especially but not exclusively the invention concerns inverted-F antenna arrangements. The invention also concerns a portable radio device equipped with such a planar antenna arrangement. And additionally the invention concerns a method for producing and testing a portable radio device comprising a planar antenna. One idea of the present invention is providing an aperture ( ) in the radiator element ( ) of the planar antenna. An RF test point ( ) is also provided for aligning the RF electronics, and the RF test point is located in such a way related to the aperture of the radiator that the test signal ( ) is easily led through the aperture. It is further advantageous that an RF switch ( ) is provided for coupling/decoupling a connection between the planar antenna and the RF electronics. In a preferred embodiment the RF switch is integrated with the RF test point. The inventive arrangement thus allows testing the RF electronics after the radiator plate ( ) has been attached to the printed wired board ( ).
