A combined speaker and antenna arrangement for a communication terminal, includes a support structure carrying a first antenna element, and a second antenna element arranged at a predetermined distance from said first antenna element. The second antenna element is a conductive first portion of a sheet of flexible film. An elongated second portion of the flexible film, carrying a conductive lead, extends from adjacent to the first portion to a speaker connected to an outer end of the elongated second portion. The second, elongated portion, is bent such that the speaker is positioned between the film and the support structure, adjacent to an aperture in the first portion.

The invention claimed is: 1. Integrated speaker carrier and antenna element for a communication terminal, comprising: a sheet of a flexible film having a conductive first portion forming a first antenna element; and an elongated second portion carrying a conductive lead, the elongated second portion including an inner end that is adjacent to the conductive first portion and an outer end that is connected to a speaker, such that the elongated second portion has a length defined by the inner end and the outer end and extends away from the conductive first portion and the inner end to the speaker and the outer end along at least a portion of the length; wherein said elongated second portion is bent such that a primary audio output side of the speaker faces the first portion and that said speaker and said outer end of said elongated second portion are positioned at an aperture in said first portion, wherein a support structure carrying a second antenna element is arranged at a predetermined distance from said first antenna element, which said first and second antenna elements form a spacing for housing the speaker; and wherein said flexible film is made from an insulating material, and wherein said first conductive portion and said lead form parts of a layer of a conductive material coated on said flexible film. 2. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said second portion carries a pair of conductive leads from adjacent said first portion to respective speaker connection pads at said outer end. 3. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said second portion carries at least one conductive lead which is electrically insulated from said first portion. 4. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said conductive lead extends from a connection pad arranged adjacent to said first portion at a straight edge of said flexible film. 5. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said conductive first portion is a ground plane of an antenna for a radio communication terminal. 6. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said conductive first portion is an antenna element of an antenna for a radio communication terminal, and has a pattern adapted to provide resonance at predetermined radio frequencies. 7. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said flexible film is attached to said support structure such that said conductive first portion is electrically connected to a ground plane of said support structure. 8. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said flexible film is attached at a side edge thereof to said support structure, at which a side edge of a connector pad to said conductive lead is arranged. 9. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 8, wherein said connector pad is connected, at said side edge thereof, to speaker control circuitry arranged on said support structure. 10. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said flexible film is bar soldered at a straight edge to said support structure, said conductive first portion being electrically connected to a ground plane of said support structure at said straight edge, and wherein a connector pad to said conductive lead is connected to speaker control circuitry arranged on said support structure. 11. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein an insulating spacer is arranged intermediate said support structure and said flexible film, defining said predetermined distance between said first and second antenna elements. 12. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 11, wherein said spacer comprises speaker attachment means devised to secure said speaker adjacent to said aperture. 13. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 11, wherein said flexible film is attached to said spacer with an adhesive. 14. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 11, wherein said spacer is attached to said support structure by cooperating engagement members. 15. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 11, wherein said spacer has a protruding member engaging with a recess in said support structure. 16. The integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1, wherein said support structure is a printed circuit board of a radio communication terminal. 17. A radio communication terminal, comprising an integrated speaker carrier and antenna element as recited in claim 1. 18. A method of manufacturing an integrated speaker carrier and antenna element for a communication terminal, comprising: providing a flexible film of an insulating material, having a first conductive surface portion forming a first antenna element, and an elongated second portion having an inner end adjacent to said first portion, said elongated second portion carrying a lead insulated from said first portion; attaching a speaker to an outer end of the elongated second portion, connected to said lead; forming an aperture in said first portion; and bending the elongated second portion such that a primary audio output side of the speaker faces the first portion and said speaker and that said outer end of the elongated second portion are positioned at the aperture; arranging a support structure carrying a second antenna element at a predetermined distance from said first antenna element, the two antenna elements forming a spacing for housing the speaker; wherein the elongated second portion has a length defined by the inner end and the outer end and extends away from the conductive first surface portion and the inner end to the speaker and the outer end along at least a portion of the length. 19. The method as recited in claim 18, wherein providing a flexible film comprises: coating said insulating film with a conductive material; removing selected portions of the conductive material from the film, to define the first conductive surface portion and the lead; and cutting the film such that the elongated second portion thereof, carrying said lead, is shaped. 20. The method as recited in claim 19, wherein removing selected portions of the conductive material comprises etching. 21. The method as recited in claim 19, wherein removing selected portions of the conductive material comprises defining a pair of separate leads insulated from said first portion and extending away from adjacent to said first portion.
