A wireless terminal a transceiver coupled to an antenna feed and a ground
conductor (502), the antenna feed being coupled directly to the ground
conductor (502). In one embodiment the ground conductor is a conducting
case (902). The coupling is via a parallel plate capacitor formed by a
respective plate (506) and a portion of the surface of the case (502).
The case (502) acts as an efficient, wideband radiator, eliminating the
need for separate antennas. Slots (912, 1214) perform a matching
function, eliminating the need for matching between the transceiver and
antenna feed.
