Patent ID: 7542002

Claim:
A wideband monopole antenna arrangement for a portable communication device, comprising a substantially continuous conductor plate that includes a first antenna element and a second antenna element; and a signal ground arranged to interact with the antenna elements so as to form the wideband monopole antenna arrangement, where the first antenna element extends substantially at an angle (θ) with respect to the second antenna element, the angle (θ) forming an acute angle of a right-angled triangle (T) in which the first antenna element extends substantially parallel to a hypotenuse (h) of the triangle (T) and the second antenna element extends substantially in parallel to a longer cathetus (c 1 ) of two catheti (c 1 , c 2 ) in the triangle (T), and where the second antenna element includes: a first extension part that elongates the second antenna element by extending from an end of the second antenna element that is spaced from the angle (θ), and a second extension part that elongates the second antenna element by extending from an end of the first extension part that is spaced from the first antenna element.
