Abstract
The present invention comprises a docking system for connecting a portable communication device to a further signal transmission line. The portable communication device has an external radiative antenna. The docking system for the portable communication device comprises a shielded housing for receivably enclosing at least a portion of the external radiative antenna of the portable communication device. A coupling probe is mounted within the shielded housing for radiatively coupling the external antenna of the portable communication device and the further signal transmission line via radio frequency energy therebetween.
