Antenna assembly for use with a portable computing device wireless communication
First Claim
1. An antenna assembly for use with a portable computing device in wireless communication, the antenna assembly comprising:
- a fastening base, connected to one side of the portable computing device;
an assembly of a plurality of telescopic tubes having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is movably connected to the fastening base and the telescopic tubes comprises an outer annular flange and an inner annular flange, and an abutment projection, whereby the outer annular flange and inner annular flange respectively that abut against each other preventing the separation of the telescopic tubes, and whereby the abutment projection provided outwardly limiting a relative rotation between the adjacent telescopic tubes;
an antenna stem, pivotally connected to the second end of the telescopic tubes so that a directional orientation of the antenna stem relative to the telescopic tubes is adjustable by rotation for obtaining optimal transmission and reception; and
a conductive wire, running respectively along the fastening base, the telescopic tubes, and the antenna stem for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves and connecting the fastening base and a wireless network card.

Abstract
An antenna assembly for a wireless communication equipment of the invention comprises a fastening base that is fixedly connected to one side of the wireless communication equipment. An arm, retractable and deployable, has a first end that is movably connected to the fastening base in a manner that the arm, retractable and deployable, is capable of retracting close to the side of the wireless communication equipment and deploying away from the side of the wireless communication equipment. An antenna stem is pivotally connected to a second end of the arm, retractable and deployable. The pivotal connection between the antenna stem and the arm is such that a directional orientation of the antenna stem relative to the axis of the arm is adjustable by rotation for obtaining optimal transmission and reception.
