Abstract

An antenna assembly and method of forming an antenna is disclosed. The antenna comprises a dielectric core wrapped with an antenna tape having a conductive portion. A printed circuit board extends from a chassis, and a ground element secures the printed circuit board to the chassis at a point located away from the chassis. The printed circuit board can be secured to the conductive portion on the tape through a wire or flex cable connection. The dielectric core can be formed of a shock absorbing material and is configured to extend into the chassis. The antenna assembly can be provided with an antenna cover placed over the dielectric core and a shock-absorbing material can be located between the dielectric core and the antenna cover.
