Abstract
An integrated package is disclosed that includes a conductive structure that can be selectively configured to include a radiating element of a planar antenna or to include a radio-frequency shielding structure. Examples of a planar antenna include PIFA antennas, patch antennas, and the like. The planar antenna can be selectively configured to different tuning profiles, and operate as a diversity antenna by alternating its tuning profile configuration amongst different tuning profiles.
