Abstract
A physically configurable communication device includes a conductive chassis. The physically configurable communication device includes a first device portion including one or more electrically driven antennas at least partially formed in the conductive chassis of the physically configurable communication device and an electrical feed in the first device portion connected to the one or more electrically driven antennas. The electrical feed is configured to supply a communication signal to the one or more electrically driven antennas. A second device portion is movably attached to the first device portion. The second device portion includes one or more capacitively coupled antennas at least partially formed in the conductive chassis of the physically configurable communication device, wherein each of the electrically driven antennas in the first device portion capacitively drives at least a corresponding one of the capacitively coupled antennas in the second device portion.
