Patent ID: 7916097

Claim:
An antenna assembly for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals over an enhanced frequency band comprising: a first radiative element having a first end, a second end, and an associated length, and comprised of an electrically conductive material, the first end of the first radiative element electrically connected to an antenna feed at an apex and at least a portion of the first radiative element being disposed outwardly away from the apex at an acute angle relative to, and on a first side of, an imaginary plane intersecting the apex; a second radiative element, having a first end and a second end and comprised of an electrically conductive material, the first end of the second radiative element electrically connected to the antenna feed and the first radiative element at the apex, and the second end of the second radiative element having an associated height above the imaginary plane that is less than the product of the length of the first element and the sine of the acute angle at which the first element is disposed outwardly from the apex; and an electrically conductive ground reference.
