Embodiment Construction

[0119] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the underlying concepts of the described embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the described embodiments may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process steps have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure the underlying concepts.

[0120] Compact folded configuration for IC packaging

[0121] In the figures that follow, a package design with multiple chips is described that overcomes the disadvantages described in the previous paragraph. This packaging design may be referred to as a "foldable memory device." This packaging design allows a memory device including multiple memory chips connected by a flexible circuit connector to be easily mounted within a portable computing device. Flexible circuit connectors may be used to provi...

Abstract

A modular material antenna assembly is provided that includes an antenna block having a portion with a shape that interlocks with a corresponding portion of an electrically non-conductive frame and secures the antenna block to the electrically non-conductive frame. The electrically non-conductive frame is attached to an interior of an electrically conductive housing so that the electrically non-conductive frame and the electrically conductive housing form an integrated structure. An antenna flex is then mechanically secured to the antenna block. The antenna flex may also be electrically connected to a circuit board. The frame is designed to support a cover glass for the portable electronic device and may be affixed to a housing. The dielectric constant of the antenna block is substantially less than the dielectric constant of the frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to consumer products, and more particularly to portable electronic devices. Background technique [0002] Portable electronic devices can take many forms such as, for example, iPad TM series of tablet computing devices, such as the iPhone TM portable communication devices such as iPod TM portable media players, each of which is manufactured by Apple Inc. of Cupertino, CA. These devices often have wireless communication mechanisms to provide wireless communication between the portable device and base stations, cell phone towers, desktop computers, and the like. Common wireless communication mechanisms include IEEE802.11a, b, g, and n (commonly referred to as "WiFi"), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and networks such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Cellular communication mechanism. Improved techniques for integrating antennas into portabl...
