1. A radiating enclosure, comprising:
- a dielectric housing having first and second detachable housing portions, each of said first and second housing portions having an inner surface and an outer surface;
at least one radiating element disposed on the exterior surface of said first housing portion;
a transceiver system housed within said second housing portion;
an electrical connection between said at least one radiating element and said transceiver system; and
ground plane material distributed on the interior surface of said first housing portion, said ground plane material electrically coupled to said transceiver system.

Abstract
An integrated radiating enclosure is disclosed. The enclosure housing is formed from a dielectric material with a radiating element formed on the exterior surface of the housing and a groundplane material formed on the interior of the housing. The groundplane provides EMI shielding for the enclosed electronics. The three antenna elements are directly connected to the circuitry of a transceiver system, thereby integrating the transceiver antenna components directly into the transceiver enclosure.
