Abstract
An antenna interface for a wireless communication device is provided which comprises an outer grounded shell and an inner signal shell, separated by an intermediate dielectric shell. Preferably, the interior surface of the inner signal shell is threaded to accept either an antenna securement member, or a test equipment interface connector. With this interface, an antenna can be driven by the inner signal shell, and two-conductor test equipment can be coupled to the wireless communication device via both the inner signal shell and the outer grounded shell.
