Abstract:
An antenna system reusing metallic components in a device includes a first antenna element which is also configured to transfer heat into surrounding air; a ground plane which is part of reused metallic components in the device for heat dissipation; and a first physical connection between the first antenna element and the ground plane which supports thermal conductivity based on an associated size and material of the first physical connection.
