Vehicle mounted antennas using flexibly connected circuit boards

A wireless communication apparatus, method or arrangement comprises: a first printed circuit board 110 on which is disposed a modem unit 111 and at least one radiating antenna element 113, 114; a second printed circuit board 120 on which there is disposed at least one radiating antenna element 123, 124 and a bendable electrical connector 130 is located between the first and second boards 110, 120. The bendable connector 130 may only be bendable at its joint ends or it may be flexible throughout it length. The boards 110, 120 are mountable to the outer surface of a vehicle to form a convex like shape in a horizontal direction. At least one interface unit 112, which may be a universal serial bus (USB) arrangement, is disposed on at least one of the first and/or second boards 110, 120. The printed circuit boards 110, 120 may be substantially perpendicular to the outer surface of the vehicle and may include rigid and bendable portions. A light-emitting diode (LED) arrangement may be located at the open end region of the antenna apparatus.
