Abstract
There is disclosed an antenna arrangement for a portable electronic device. The antenna arrangement comprises a conductive ground plane having an edge and a substantially rectangular recess formed in the edge of the ground plane. The recess has a base, an open edge opposed to the base, and at least a first side extending from the base. A first conductor element extends across the open edge of the recess, a first end of the first conductor element being connected to the ground plane at the first side of the recess. The first conductor element leaves at least one gap at the edge of the recess, such that the first conductor element, the first side of the recess and the base of the recess together define a slot in the ground plane and the at least one gap defines at least one notch in the slot. A second conductor element is disposed within the recess and connected to or configured to couple with the ground plane. The antenna arrangement further comprises a feed arm for connection to an RF feed, the feed arm being disposed substantially within a footprint of the slot.
