Abstract:
1. A handheld wireless device comprising: a printed circuit board comprising a ground plane; communication circuitry on the printed circuit board; antenna feeding means coupled to the communications circuitry; a battery coupled to the communication circuitry; an antenna connected to the antenna feeding means and comprising a multilevel conducting structure, substantial portions of the multilevel structure being formed of a plurality of polygons; wherein the plurality of polygons comprise geometric elements identifiably defined by a free perimeter thereof and a projection of the longest exposed perimeter thereof to define the least number of generally identifiable polygons within a region; wherein at least two polygons of the plurality of polygons are coupled by a conducting strip narrower in width than any one of the at least two polygons; and wherein at least two polygons of the plurality of polygons are separated by a non-straight gap contributing to tuning a frequency behavior of the antenna.
