Abstract
An apparatus and system for providing wireless communication for a portable computer system. In one embodiment, the present invention is a wireless communication apparatus. The wireless communication apparatus is adapted to be communicatively coupled to a portable computer system. In the present embodiment, the apparatus is comprised of a PCB (printed circuit board). It is noted that the PCB of the present invention is separate from and in addition to the PCB of the portable computer system to which it is coupled. The apparatus is further comprised of an antenna, coupled to the PCB adapted to transceive a specific radio frequency band. The apparatus is further comprised of a passive radiator coupled to the PCB. The passive radiator is adapted to provide an omindirectional radiation pattern for the wireless communication apparatus.
