Patent ID: 7095382

Claim:
A dipole antenna for a wireless communication device comprising: a first conductive element superimposed a portion of and separated from a second conductive element by a first dielectric layer; a first conductive via connects the first and second conductive elements through the first dielectric layer; the second conductive element being generally U-shaped; the second conductive element including a plurality of spaced conductive strips extending transverse from adjacent ends of the legs of the U-shape; at least one of the strips on each leg being T-shape; each strip extending from a leg being dimensioned for a different λo than another strip of the leg; a ground plane conductor superimposed and separated from the second conductive element by a second dielectric layer; a third conductive element superimposed and separated from the strips of the second conductive element by the first dielectric layer; and a second conductive via connecting the third conductive element to the ground conductor through the dielectric layers.
