A planar inverted-F antenna has a first planar radiating element, a first feed element electrically connected to a first area of the first planar radiating element, and a first ground element electrically connected to a second area of the first planar radiating element. The first planar radiating element is a multi-band radiating element configured to operate at a plurality of frequency bands including at least one frequency band at which location signals are communicated and multiple frequency bands at which wireless broadband signals are communicated. The first planar radiating element supports, within a single radiating element, communication of location signals and communication of wireless broadband signals. In certain embodiments, the first planar radiating element has a first substantially L-shaped region, a second substantially L-shaped region inverted with respect to, and forming a continuation of, the first region, and a third region forming a continuation of the first or second region.

Planar inverted-F antenna supporting communication of wireless broadband signals and location signals within a single element

A collar has a band having oppositely disposed first and second surfaces. Acoustic concentrators project from the first surface in a projection direction and are configured to penetrate fur in a portion of an animal to place the band in communication with the animal. Acoustic sensors functionally associated with the acoustic concentrators are configured to measure at least one first bioparameter by detecting vibrations corresponding to the at least one first bioparameter, and generate signals representing the at least one first bioparameter. Non-acoustic sensors are associated with the band and are configured to measure one or more second bioparameters associated with the animal, and generate signals representing the one or more second bioparameters. AGC circuitry adjusts signal gain of the signals representing the at least one first bioparameter. A processing subsystem determines a condition of the animal based at least in part by processing signals received from the AGC circuitry.
