Coupler for phone with moveable portions

1. A hand held phone used to transfer a signal, comprising:

a first panel;

a second panel physically coupled to the first panel via a hinge;

an antenna, wherein the antenna is coupled to the first panel;

a circuit, wherein the circuit is coupled to the second panel; and

a coupling portion, wherein the coupling portion couples the signal between the antenna and the circuit across a physical gap;

wherein the capacitance across the gap remains relatively constant regardless of the position of the first panel and second panel relative to each other.

2. The phone of claim 1 , wherein the antenna comprises a capacitatively loaded dipole antenna.

3. The phone of claim 1 , wherein the first panel comprises a ground plane.

4. The phone of claim 1 , wherein the phone comprises a flip-phone.

5. The phone of claim 4 , wherein the second panel comprises a panel intended to be held by the hand.

6. The phone of claim 4 , wherein the first panel and the second panel are connected by a conductive hinge.

7. The phone of claim 4 , wherein the first panel and the second panel are connected by a non-conductive hinge.

8. The phone claim 1 , wherein the second panel comprises a device for converting sound into an electrical signal, and

wherein the first panel comprises a device for converting an electrical signal into sound.

9. The phone of claim 1 , wherein the first panel comprises a device for converting sound into an electrical signal, and

wherein the second panel comprises a device for converting an electrical signal into sound.

10. The phone of claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion comprises one or more portion, wherein the one or more portion is separated by one or more gap that varies in dimension.

11. A coupler for coupling a signal between an antenna and a circuit, comprising

a first portion, wherein the first portion is electrically coupled to the antenna, the antenna being completely disposed on the first portion; and

a second portion, wherein the second portion is electrically coupled to the circuit, and wherein the second and first portion are separated by a physical gap,

wherein the first portion and the second portion are coupled over a range of orientations, and wherein the gap defines a dimension that changes over the range of orientations.

12. A phone, comprising:

an antenna disposed completely on a first portion,

a circuit disposed completely on a second portion; and

a coupling portion, wherein the coupling portion couples a signal between the antenna and the circuit across a physical gap between the first portion and the second portion,

wherein the gap defines an approximately constant dimension.

13. A method for transferring a signal in a phone, comprising the steps of:

disposing a first portion and a second portion in the phone to define a gap; and capacitatively coupling the signal across the gap;

disposing an antenna completely on the first portion;

coupling the first portion to a first panel; and

coupling the second portion to a second panel; and

moving one or more of the panels to change a dimension defined by the gap.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising the steps of:

coupling the first portion to an antenna; and

coupling the second portion to a circuit.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the antenna comprises a dipole antenna.
