Radio unit for computer systems
First Claim
1. A radio unit for computer systems, comprising:
- an integrated antenna system for receiving transmitted data information, said transmitted data information being transmitted within a commercial broadcast band;
a first radio receiver, said first radio receiver being coupled with said integrated antenna system, said integrated antenna system being capable of communicating said transmitted data information to said first radio receiver;
an interface system for removably connecting said radio unit with a computer system, said first radio receiver being coupled with said interface system and being capable of communicating with said interface system; and
a second radio receiver for receiving transmitted audio information and an audio system for selectively audibly presenting said transmitted audio information, said second radio receiver being coupled with said integrated antenna system, said interface system, and said audio system.

Abstract
A radio unit for computer systems for receiving and/or presenting data information transmitted within a commercial broadcast band and methods of manufacturing and using the same. The radio unit comprises an integrated antenna system, a first radio receiver, and an interface system for removably connecting the radio unit to a computer system. The integrated antenna system includes a first set of windings, a second set of windings, and a ferrite core with a first region and a second region. To reduce parasitic capacitance among the windings, the first set of windings are wound substantially in a first direction about a circumference of the first region, and the second set of windings are wound substantially in a second direction, substantially opposite said first direction, about a circumference of the second region and are coupled with the first set of windings at a junction between the first region and the second region. The first radio receiver is coupled with the integrated antenna system and receives transmitted data information. Substantially via the interface system, the first radio receiver communicates with the computer system, which is capable of presenting the transmitted data information.
