1. An assembly, comprising:

  • a device configured for receiving at least one input to produce an output responsive thereto;

    an antenna arrangement for supporting said device to transfer said input to the device and further to transfer said output from said device such that the antenna arrangement supports a selected one of the input and the output as a high frequency current and said antenna arrangement includes a peripheral configuration which confines said high frequency current to at least one dominant path within the antenna arrangement so that the high frequency current oscillates in the dominant path and so that the other one of the input and the output is a lower frequency signal that is present at least generally throughout the antenna arrangement; and

    at least one port, within said antenna arrangement, positioned sufficiently away from said dominant path so as to isolate the lower frequency signal at the port from said high frequency current in said dominant path.
