Abstract:
1. An antenna arrangement comprising an electrically conductive radiating element having first and second ends, an electrically conductive groundplane, and an input terminal; wherein the radiating element has a plurality of separate feed points at different locations between its first and second ends, and wherein each of the feed points is electrically connected to a switch by way of a separate electrical pathway, the switch being configured to selectively connect and disconnect each of the separate electrical pathways to and from the input terminal by selecting between a plurality of selectable contacts, and wherein at least one of the electrical pathways includes a capacitive circuit component connected in series with one of the feed points and wherein at least one other of the electrical pathways includes an inductive circuit component connected in series with another one of the feed points, wherein at least one inductive circuit component is connected in series with the radiating element between at least one pair of feed points.
