Claim 0:
1. A dipole antenna structure, comprising:
a sheet of metal that forms elements of a dipole antenna comprising:
a first dipole arm tuned to a first frequency band;
a second dipole arm, tuned to a second frequency band, connected directly to the first dipole arm and formed substantially co-planar with, and at a first angle to, the first dipole arm; and
at least one impedance matching element coupled to the second dipole arm, wherein the at least one impedance matching element is formed in the sheet of metal at a second angle relative to a plane that coincides with the substantially co-planar first and second dipole arms,
wherein a portion of the sheet metal that forms the at least one impedance matching element also forms a cantilevered structure that connects to the second dipole arm such that the first dipole arm and the second dipole arm are cantilevered away from a printed circuit board mounting point of the dipole antenna structure.
