  • MULTI-BAND ANTENNA SYSTEM INCLUDING A RETRACTABLE ANTENNA AND A MEANDER ANTENNA
    Publication number: 20030210188
    Abstract: A multi-band antenna including a retractable antenna and a meander antenna wherein the meander antenna may take several forms. In all of the embodiments, the meander antenna comprises first and second meander radiating elements. In one form of the invention, the closed ends of the loops of the second meander radiating element protrude into the open ends of the loops of the first meander radiating element. In other forms of the invention, active and/or passive elements are positioned between the first and second meander radiating elements. In some forms of the invention, the active or passive elements include stubs which protrude into the open ends of the loops of the first meander radiating element.

  • Compact dual diversity antenna for RF data and wireless communication devices
    Patent number: 6417809
    Abstract: A compact dual diversity antenna for RF data and wireless communication devices having a printed circuit board is disclosed. First and second PIFAs are mounted on the PCB in a spaced relationship. Each of the first and second PIFAs include radiating elements having ground planes and shorting posts. The ground plane of the second PIFA is disposed in the same plane as the PCB. The ground plane of the first PIFA is orthogonally disposed with respect to the ground plane of the second PIFA. First and second feed posts connect the first and second PIFAs to the PCB through RF feed lines. The first and second feed posts are disposed perpendicularly to one another.
