ABSTRACT:
A headset has a first and an optional second earpiece12, 16respectively coupled to a plug30via first and an optional second conductors14, 20, 18, 22. An antenna loop section36has a first loop section31at least partially bound to a portion of the first conductor20, and a second loop section33bound to at least a portion of the second conductor22. Where bound, the first conductor and first loop section may be coaxial or side-by-side. The loop sections include inductors42,44, and the conductors include ferrite rings38,40near the earpieces. A connector24mechanically holds the first and second conductors in proximity to one another, and also includes a conductive bridge34to electrically couple the first and second loop segments, which may be via a contact connection or a capacitive connection. Audio and RF signals are separated by frequency in a device50to which the headset is coupled.
