  • Patent number: 7352329
    Abstract: A multi-band antenna with the broadband function is based upon a planar inverted-F antenna with two conductive arms and a ground. The two conductive arms extend from the ground near the two opposite ends of the ground. Two radiation plates of the two conductive arms extend toward each other. The multi-band antenna has a sufficient large band at high frequencies. Since the conductive arms are disposed close to the two ends of the ground, operations of bending the two conductive arms or soldering a feed wires are simpler and have a higher yield.
