Patent ID: 8743012

Claim:
A broad-band, multi-hand antenna comprising: a ground terminal and a feed terminal; an elongated inductor extending between a first connecting section and a second connecting section, wherein a coupling section of the elongated inductor is disposed generally parallel with and spaced apart from one of a first plurality of arcuate inductors to define a gap therebetween: a first inductive element electrically coupled between the ground terminal and a first extremity of the elongated inductor, wherein the first inductive element comprises the first plurality of arcuate inductors in parallel connection that each have proximal ends connected to the ground terminal and distal ends that define the first connecting section: a capacitive element in parallel connection with the first inductive element; and a second inductive element electrically coupled between a second extremity of the elongated inductor and the feed terminal, wherein the second inductive element comprises a second plurality of arcuate inductors in parallel connection that each have proximal ends connected to the feed terminal and distal ends that define the second connecting section.
