Abstract:
1. An antenna assembly for a wireless device comprising: a conductive element having an upper edge and a lower edge defined between a middle portion, said conductive element being electrically coupled to a ground plane element of the wireless device; a first driven conductor element coupled to the conductive element within the middle portion, said first driven conductor including a first element being generally perpendicular to the conductive element and a second element being generally parallel to the conductive element, said second element extending toward the upper edge of the wireless device; and a second driven conductor element coupled to the conductive element, said second driven conductor element including a first element being generally perpendicular to the conductive element and a second element being generally parallel to the conductive element, said second element extending toward the upper edge of the wireless device, and said second driven element being coupled to the conductive element at said first element, and said second driven element being driven via a feed point within said second element, and wherein the second driven conductor element includes a pair of free ends, thereby defining a pair of radiating elements.
