Abstract:
1. A hybrid strip antenna for a communication device operable at a first frequency band and at a second frequency band, said second frequency band being higher in frequency than said first frequency band, said hybrid strip antenna embodied upon a substrate, and said hybrid strip antenna comprising: a first radiation element formed of a closed loop on the substrate and defining an interior area within the closed loop, the closed loop including a portion forming a meander line, the closed loop configured to be resonant within said first frequency band and the meander line electrical length being resonant at said second frequency band; and a second radiation element formed of a strip coupled to said first radiation element, and lying within the interior area defined by said closed loop forming said first radiation element, the strip forming the second radiation element and being configured to cause said second radiation element to be resonant within at least a portion of said second frequency band.
