Abstract
Aspects of a method and apparatus for an integrated antenna are provided. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a substrate may comprise one or more metal traces thereon and/or embedded therein. The substrate may be sufficiently flexible to be bent or molded into a shape that corresponds to the outer dimensions of a battery. When the substrate is bent into the shape corresponding to the outer dimensions of the battery, the one or more metal traces may form an antenna. A ferromagnetic laminate may be affixed to a first side of the substrate, and a dielectric laminate may be affixed to a second side of the substrate. The substrate may be wrapped around a battery and the battery and substrate may be integrated into a smartcard or other wireless communication device.
