Patent ID: 7719470

Claim:
An antenna for a radio communication device, said antenna comprising: a first patch forming a first radiation element, said first patch being substantially L-shaped and defined in a first planar direction, said first antenna patch being resonant at least at a first higher frequency band, said resonance determined by a dimension of the L-shaped patch and by a location of a connection of a second antenna patch to said first antenna patch; and said second patch forming a second radiation element and including a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, said first portion being contiguous and integral with at least a portion of said first patch, the first portion being folded to extend in a second planar direction different than the first planar direction in which said first patch extends, said second portion being contiguous and integral with said first portion, said second portion being folded to extend in a third planar direction different than the second planar direction, said third portion being folded to extend in a fourth planar direction different than the third planar direction, the second patch being resonant at least at a lower frequency band and a second higher frequency band.
