A wireless device antenna is constructed using flex-rigid printed wiring board technology wherein a first main printed wiring board is flexibly connected to a second printed wiring board carrying at least one radiating element having an approximate length, width and pattern defining an intended antenna functionality which may be cellular, non-cellular or both. The first main printed wiring board and the second printed wiring board are flexibly and electrically connected to one another by a flexible element. An RF transmission line formed in the metallization layers common to the first main printed wiring board and the second printed wiring board connect transceiver circuitry carried on the first main printed wiring board to respective radiating elements carried on the second printed wiring board.
