Abstract: A segmented loop antenna formed of many segments connected in an electrical loop where the segments are arrayed in multiple divergent directions that tend to increase the antenna electrical length while permitting the overall outside antenna dimensions to fit within the antenna areas of communication devices. The loop antenna operates in a communication device to exchange energy at a radiation frequency and includes a connection having first and second conductors for conduction of electrical current in a radiation loop. The radiation loop includes a plurality of electrically conducting segments each having a segment length. The segments are connected in series electrically connected between said first and second conductors for exchange of energy at the radiation frequency.
