Abstract
Inverted-F antennas that resonate within first and second frequency bands for use within communications devices, such as radiotelephones, are provided. A first planar conductive element has an elongated, rectangular configuration that extends along a first direction. The first planar conductive element has opposite first and second sides and an elongated edge. One or more additional planar conductive elements are electrically connected to the elongated edge of the first planar conductive element. Each additional planar conductive element has an elongated, rectangular configuration that extends along a second direction that is substantially parallel with the first direction. Each additional planar conductive element is maintained in adjacent, co-planar, spaced-apart relationship with the first planar conductive element.
