Abstract
An antenna has a radiator mounted on a substrate, at least two terminals that are connected to the radiator and that extend away from a surface of the substrate, and a circuit board that is electrically connected to the radiator via the terminals. The terminals are accommodated by respective contact areas, such as holes, in the circuit board and are advantageously resilient. In this way, mis-alignment between the substrate and the circuit board is compensated, reducing the risk of antenna frequency offset.
