Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of an multiband antenna assembly includes a printed circuit board having a plurality of elements thereon. The plurality of elements may include a radiating element, a matching element, a feed element configured to be operable as a feeding point for the multiband antenna assembly, and a shorting element configured to be operable for electrically shorting the radiating element to ground. The antenna assembly may be operable within at least a first frequency range and a second frequency range different than the first frequency range without requiring any matching lump components coupled to the printed circuit board.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are provided of multi-band Planar Inverted-F antennas and antenna systems including the same. In an exemplary embodiment, a Planar Inverted-F antenna (PIFA) generally includes a planar radiator or upper radiating patch element having a slot. A lower surface of the PIFA is spaced apart from the upper radiating patch element. First and second shorting elements electrically connect the planar radiator to the lower surface. The PIFA also includes a feeding element electrically connected between the upper radiating patch element and the lower surface. The PIFA may be mounted on a ground plane that is larger than the lower surface of the PIFA.

Abstract: According to various aspects, antenna elements are provided for multi-band sleeve dipole antenna assemblies for use with wireless application devices. The antenna elements generally include first and second radiating elements. The first radiating elements may be tuned for receiving electrical resonant frequencies within a first frequency bandwidth. The second radiating elements may be tuned for receiving electrical resonant frequencies within a second frequency bandwidth different from the first frequency bandwidth.
