Abstract
Apparatus providing thermal management for radio frequency devices. An antenna is provided that includes an antenna body configured for transmitting electrical signals, and one or more mounting surfaces coupled to the antenna body, the one or more mounting surfaces configured for mounting to a device surface so that a resulting thermal resistance (Rth) between the device surface and the antenna body is less than 15 degrees centigrade per watt. The antenna body forms one of a PIFA antenna, whip antenna, patch antenna, or a meandered patch antenna.
