  • Patent number: 7019704
    Abstract: An antenna arrangement is described in which a pair of at least generally planar opposing antenna arms each support a first high frequency antenna current responsive to an input. Each arm includes a peripheral outline for confining the first high frequency current to a pair of first and second dominant paths, that are defined by the peripheral outline, in a spaced apart relationship across each of the opposing antenna arms so as to define an isolated area between the first and second paths. A configuration is located in this area of at least one of the antenna arms for producing an additional high frequency current responsive to the input. The additional high frequency current cooperates with the first high frequency antenna current to produce an overall antenna response. In one feature, the opposing antenna arms are bow arms which cooperate to define an overall bow-tie configuration as the peripheral outline.
