Abstract
A multiband microwave antenna () is described, which antenna is intended particularly for surface mounting (SMD) on a printed circuit board (PCB) and has a substrate () having at least a first and a second metallization structure (), wherein the first metallization structure () has at least a metal area () forming a resonator area and the second metallization structure () has at least a resonant printed conductor structure (), thus enabling the antenna to combine the advantageous properties of a PIFA (planar inverted F-antenna) with those of a PWA (printed wire antenna).
