Abstract

A removable connectorized flexible, planar antenna and a removable tethered antenna which attach to a card radio for use in a wireless local area network is disclosed. The planar antenna has a latching mechanism with a pair of release levers which latch to slots in the frame of the card radio to provide an attachment strong enough to be used as an extraction handle for the card radio. The flexible antenna has a flexible sheet with a conductive material applied in a shape specified and connected to the card radio via a RF connection port. A removable tethered antenna is disclosed having at the base of the tethered antenna a dovetailed connector which releasably rotates within a mounting plate affixed to the back of the monitor on a mobile computer.
