Patent ID: 6839040

Claim:
A multiband antenna for a communication terminal, comprising a printed conductor pattern applied to a support, wherein the printed conductor pattern includes a first printed conductor pattern section, an end of which is capacitively loaded by a second printed conductor pattern section for tuning the antenna to a desired radio channel from multiple available channels, and wherein, for tuning the antenna to a desired further radio channel, the antenna includes a first antenna section with a first printed conductor pattern and, in a plane substantially parallel to and across from the first printed conductor pattern, a further antenna section with a further printed conductor pattern applied to the support or a further support which is at least one of capacitively coupled and inductively coupled to the first printed conductor pattern, whereby the further printed conductor pattern comprises a further first printed conductor pattern section, an end of which is capacitively loaded by a further second printed conductor pattern section for tuning the antenna to the desired radio channel.
