Abstract:
1. An antenna apparatus comprising: a monopole antenna configured to operate in a first frequency band, the monopole antenna comprising an outer boundary along an exterior of the monopole antenna and an inner boundary within an interior of the monopole antenna, wherein the inner boundary comprises a top side and a bottom side below the top side, and wherein the inner boundary forms an enclosed window; and a folded dipole antenna configured to operate in a second frequency band that is higher than the first frequency band, the folded dipole antenna comprising a first conductor and a second conductor, wherein the folded dipole antenna is positioned within and physically coupled to the interior of the monopole antenna, wherein the first conductor protrudes from the top side of the inner boundary toward a center of the enclosed window, and wherein the second conductor protrudes from the bottom side of the inner boundary toward the center of the enclosed window.
