Patent ID: 7394432

Claim:
A multi-band antenna comprising: a conductive radiating element including at least one multilevel structure, said at least one multilevel structure comprising a plurality of electromagnetically coupled geometric elements, said plurality of geometric elements including at least three portions, a first portion being associated with a first selected frequency band, a second portion being associated with a second selected frequency band and a third portion being associated with a third selected frequency band, said second and third portions being located substantially within the first portion, said first, second and third portions defining empty spaces in an overall structure of the conductive radiating element to provide a circuitous current path within the first portion, within the second portion and within the third portion, and the current within said first portion providing said first selected frequency band with radio electric behavior substantially similar to the radio electric behavior of said second and third selected frequency bands, the current within the second portion providing said second selected frequency band with radio electric behavior substantially similar to the radio electric behavior of said first and third selected frequency bands, and the current within the third portion providing said third selected frequency band with radio electric behavior substantially similar to the radio electric behavior of said first and second selected frequency bands.
