Patent ID: 7545327

Claim:
An integrated antenna device comprising a first. dielectric antenna and a second, electrically-conductive antenna, wherein the first and second antennas are not electrically connected to each other but are mutually arranged such that the second antenna is parasitically driven by the first antenna when the first antenna is fed with a predetermined signal wherein the second antenna is connected to ground, and wherein the first and second antennas are configured to radiate in different freouency bands; wherein the first antenna comprises a high dielectric antenna formed as a dielectric pellet mounted on the first side of a dielectric substrate, a microstrip feed located on the first side of the dielectric substrate and extending between the substrate and the dielectric pellet, and a conductive layer formed on a second side of the dielectric substrate opposed to the first side of the dielectric substrate; and wherein an aperture is formed in the conductive layer or the conductive layer is removed from the second side of the dielectric substrate at a location corresponding to that of the dielectric pellet.
