Abstract

The present invention comprises an antenna coupling arrangement for connecting a portable communication device to a further signal transmission line. The portable communication device has an external radiative antenna. The coupling arrangement comprises a housing of generally rectilinear configuration having left and right sides, a lower side and a back side arranged to enclose a portable communication device. An antenna coupler is hingedly supported on the housing to pivotably mate with the external antenna of a portable communication device enclosed within the housing. The antenna coupler is connected to a transmission line for further connection to a further antenna or transmission line.
