Abstract
A wireless communication device is provided with a multipart case, having electrical interfaces that encourage the flow of radiation frequency ground current between case sections. The multipart case has a first planar groundplane section and a second planar groundplane section. For example, the multipart case design may be a slider, double slider, multiple hinge, flip, or swivel case. The second planar groundplane is substantially coplanar with the first groundplane in a case open position, and substantially bi-planar with the first groundplane in a case closed position. The wireless device also includes an antenna located adjacent the second groundplane section first end. A first and a second interface electrically connect the first groundplane section to the second groundplane section second end (the end opposite the antenna).
