Abstract
An antenna for a wireless communications device may be configured in a variety of shapes. The antenna is not limited to a two dimensional space, but may incorporate conductive antenna elements from an integrated circuit package, a circuit board to which the integrated circuit package mounts, and signal conducting connecting means between the integrated circuit package and the circuit board.
