          Appeal No. 96-0365                                                          
          Application 07/983,145                                                      


               A.  a receive radiating element having a receiver                      
          feedpoint, the receiver feedpoint directly connected to the                 
          receiver input of the receiver via a receiver input cable, the              
          receive radiating element formed as a first patch having a                  
          major axis;                                                                 
               B.  a transmit radiating element having a transmitter                  
          feedpoint, the transmitter feedpoint being directly connected               
          to the transmitter output via a transmitter output cable, the               
          transmitter and receiver cables being separate from one                     
          another and not connected to one another, the transmit                      
          radiating element formed as a second patch having a major                   
          axis, the transmit radiating element disposed in the same                   
          plane as the receive radiating element, and such that the                   
          major axis of the transmit radiating element is parallel to                 
          the major axis of the receive radiating element;                            
               C.  a ground reference plane, disposed adjacent the                    
          receive and transmit radiating elements and positioned such                 
          that the ground reference plane is between said radiating                   
          elements and the head of a user when the telephone is in use;               
          and                                                                         
               D.  spacing means for spacing the ground plane from the                
          receive and transmit radiating elements, said spacing means                 
          connecting electrically to the ground reference plane and                   
          including at least one conductive outer surface, said spacing               
          means being positioned to isolate the receive radiating                     
          element from the transmit radiating element.                                
               The references relied on by the examiner are:
