Abstract:
An antenna assembly for use in a wireless communications device, the antenna assembly comprising:a ground plane element disposed upon a printed wiring board; a first conducting element having a conductive surface with a feed point, a first leg element and a second leg element, said conductive surface being disposed away from the ground plane element to define an interior region, wherein the first conducting element is capacitively coupled to the ground plane by its first leg element and operatively connected to the ground plane by its second leg element; a second conducting element having a conductive surface and a leg element, said second conducting element being operatively connected to the ground plane by its leg element, said second conducting element being operatively connected to the ground plane at a second location away from the leg element; and a capacitor element capacitively coupling the first conducting element to the second conducting element.
