Abstract
A wireless communications device () includes a flip assemblythat includes a speaker () and that has a GPS antenna () mounted about a far edge. The flip assembly () further has a GPS RF amplifier () mounted adjacent to the GPS antenna () for amplifying signals received by the GPS antenna () and providing those amplified signals to a GPS RF stripline (). The GPS RF stripline () includes a flexible RF stripline () to accommodate rotationally opening and closing of the flip assembly (). Positioning of the GPS antenna () about the far edge of the flip assembly () removes the GPS antenna from a main housing assembly () of the wireless communications device () and provides for better GPS signal reception performance.
