Abstract: A device can include a first ground element to be electrically connected to a module including a cellular antenna. The first ground element and the module can be stackable. The cellular antenna can have a first ground plane provided by a second ground element included in the module. The first ground element can provide a second ground plane for the cellular antenna when the first ground element is electrically connected to the cellular antenna. The second ground plane can be larger than the first ground plane. Radio performance of the cellular antenna with regard to a cellular network is enhanced when the cellular antenna is electrically connected to the first ground element based on the second ground plane.
