Patent ID: 7755553

Claim:
An antenna assembly to be worn by a user, comprising: a low-band dipole antenna including a low-band dipole feed electrically coupled to a first low-band dipole element connected to and extending outwardly from said low-band dipole feed in a first direction to a first terminal end of said antenna assembly, and to a second low-band dipole element connected to and extending outwardly from said low-band dipole feed in a second direction opposed from said first direction; a high band dipole antenna comprising a high-band dipole feed interposed at a location along a length of said first low-band dipole element and dividing said first low-band dipole element into a first high-band dipole element extending outwardly from said high-band dipole feed in said first direction to said first terminal end of said antenna assembly, and a second high-band dipole element extending in said second direction to said low-band dipole feed, said high-band dipole feed electrically coupled to said first and second high-band dipole elements; and wherein at least one of said high-band dipole elements is formed as a flexible electrically conductive sleeve, and said flexible electrically conductive sleeve surrounds a transmission line that extends from said low-band dipole feed to said high-band dipole feed.
