Abstract
Systems () and methods () for packaging an antenna () in a communication device (). The methods involve coupling the antenna to a Printed Circuit Board ('PCB') such that the antenna is mechanically supported thereby. A hollow shaft () of a control knob () is positioned over the antenna and at least a portion of PCB () such that the antenna is embedded within the control knob. Thereafter, the control knob is mechanically secured to a housing () of the communication device. The control knob is arranged such that it can move in a radial direction and a vertical direction () relative to the chassis. The control knob is also arranged such that the hollow shaft is able to move freely over the antenna without coming in contact therewith.
