Abstract
A wireless communication device includes: heat transfer fins; first and second antennas; a wireless transmitter; and a wireless receiver. The heat transfer fins project outwardly from the wireless communication device, receive heat produced by electric components of the wireless communication device, and transfer heat to air passing the heat transfer fins. The first antenna is disposed at least partially within a first recess formed in a first exterior surface of one of the heat transfer fins and contacts at least a portion of the first recess. The second antenna is disposed at least partially within a second recess formed in a second exterior surface of another one of the heat transfer fins and contacts at least a portion of the second recess. The wireless transmitter applies first signals to the first antenna to wirelessly transmit signals. The wireless receiver receives second signals generated by the second antenna.
