Abstract
A multiple antenna module suitable for use in small sized mobile computing devices includes at least a first antenna extending beyond a lateral edge of and coplanar with a printed circuit board assembly and connected to the printed circuit board assembly via a first antenna ground contact and a first antenna feed contact. The multiple antenna module also includes a second antenna located proximate to the first antenna and configured in a plane perpendicular to the plane continuing the first antenna and the printed circuit board. The second antenna is connected to the printed circuit board assembly via a second antenna ground contact and a second antenna feed contact in which the second antenna ground contact and second antenna feed contact are connect to the printed circuit between the first antenna ground contact and the first antenna feed contact.
