Patent ID: 8514132

Claim:
A multiple-band antenna for a wireless device, comprising: a ground area; a coaxial connect; a first radiating member having a first end, an intermediate portion, and a second end and cooperatively receiving and substantially radiating RF signals at a first, second, and third resonant frequencies, wherein said first end of said first radiating member is electrically connected to said ground area and said intermediate portion of said first radiating member is electrically connected to a first feed point; a second radiating member having a first end and a second end and cooperatively receiving and substantially radiating RF signals at said first, second, and third resonant frequencies, wherein said first end of said second radiating member is electrically connected to said second end of said first radiating member; a third radiating member having a first end and a second end and cooperatively receiving and substantially radiating RF signals at said first, second, and third resonant frequencies, wherein said first end of said third radiating member is electrically connected to said second end of said second radiating member; and a fourth radiating member having a first end, an intermediate portion, and a second end and providing a fourth resonant frequency, wherein said first end of said fourth radiating member is electrically connected to said second end of said third radiating member, said intermediate portion of said fourth radiating member is electrically connected to a second feed point, wherein said first feed point and said second feed point are both connected through said coaxial connector to a transmitter, a receiver, or both.
