Abstract
A printed circuit board (PCB) has electronic components of an electrical circuit mounted thereon. The PCB includes a wire that is coiled through the PCB one or more turns to form a coil of an inductor or an antenna that is integrated with the PCB. The PCB can include a cutout for accepting an inductor core. The shape and/or size of the inductor core can be varied to achieve a target inductance. Both ends of the wire can be electrically connected to corresponding nodes of the electrical circuit. One end of the wire can be electrically connected to a node of the electrical circuit, and the other end of the wire can be electrically connected to an antenna body.
