Patent ID: 7800546

Claim:
A mobile communications device, comprising: a folded monopole antenna that includes a conductive trace folded into a three-dimensional structure around a dielectric body having a plurality of faces; the conductive trace comprising: a first loop that extends along a first face of said dielectric body; a second loop that extends along a second face of said dielectric body, the second face being opposite to the first face; an intermediate wraparound section comprising a first U-shaped strip and a second U-shaped strip extending around said dielectric body to form a rectangular coil between the first loop and the second loop, wherein the first and second U-shaped strips are spaced apart between the first loop and the second loop, and wherein the U-shaped strips are electrically connected to the first and second loops; and a feed section that is electrically coupled to the intermediate wraparound section and wireless communications circuitry disposed on a dielectric layer.
