Radiative focal area antenna transmission coupling arrangement
First Claim
1. A docking system for connecting a portable communication device to a further signal transmission line, said portable communication device having an externally radiative antenna, said system comprising:
- a shield for restricting at least a portion of any radiation emanating from said externally radiative antenna of said portable communication device; and
a coupling probe mounted adjacent to said shield for radiatively coupling between said externally radiative antenna of said portable communication device and said further signal transmission line via radio frequency energy therebetween.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a docking system for connecting a portable communication device to a further signal transmission line. The docking system may be arranged within a workstation such as a desk or a tray. The system may also envelope a room in a building or be located in a vehicle, to control and restrict the radiative emission from the communication device and to direct such radiation to a further remote antenna and or signal distribution system connected to the transmission line.

12. A method of coupling a portable communication device having an externally radiative antenna, to a signal transmission line having a further distribution system and/or remote antenna thereon, for the purpose of effecting radio signal communication therebetween, said method comprising the steps of:
-
arranging a radiation shield in juxtaposition with at least a portion of said radiative antenna of said portable communication device;
mounting a coupling probe adjacent said shield and in communication with said signal transmission line; and
placing said externally radiative antenna of said portable communication device communicatively adjacent said shield so as to permit radiative communication between said externally radiative antenna of said communication device and said signal transmission line via said coupling probe; and
arranging said shield in a generally planar work surface so as to restrict the propagation of at least a portion of the radiation emanating from said communication device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
