Abstract
A computer system includes a speaker-antenna assembly in the base of the system. Multiple speaker-antenna assemblies are situated in spaced apart relationship in the base in one embodiment. This provides both audio separation and isolation between the antennas for space and frequency diversity operation. By locating the speaker and antenna in a common assembly, substantial space savings are achieved.
