Abstract
A combined speaker and antenna arrangement for a communication terminal, includes a support structure carrying a first antenna element, and a second antenna element arranged at a predetermined distance from said first antenna element. The second antenna element is a conductive first portion of a sheet of flexible film. An elongated second portion of the flexible film, carrying a conductive lead, extends from adjacent to the first portion to a speaker connected to an outer end of the elongated second portion. The second, elongated portion, is bent such that the speaker is positioned between the film and the support structure, adjacent to an aperture in the first portion.
