WEARABLE TRACKING DEVICE WITH MULTI-BAND ANTENNA INTEGRATED INTO THE STRAP

Abstract

The proposed useful solution is a wearable tracking device with a multi-band antenna integrated into the strap, comprising: a device body (3) containing the electronic circuit (2) and the radio transceiver block; a soft strap (1) consisting of a flexible conductive element embedded within the soft material of the strap, which forms the radiating element of a multi-band antenna and is configured to transmit and / or receive radio signals through the radio transceiver block; and a flexible conductive element extending along the length of the strap to increase the effective electrical length of the antenna and to reduce performance degradation due to shielding by elements within the device body (3), while the strap maintains appropriate flexibility for wearing; a direct compression contact electrical connection mechanism between the flexible conductive element and the electronic circuit (2), which includes a sealed contact chamber created at the bottom of the device body (3), and an elastic contact element (2).1) Compressed and maintaining stable electrical contact between the flexible conductive element and the PCB within a sealed contact cavity to limit the ingress of water and / or dust into the sealed contact cavity.
