Abstract
A multi-band folded inverted conformal antenna (), suitable for use internally within an electronic device (), facilitates low-profile designs with the multi-band folded inverted conformal antenna () extending less than five millimeters above a circuit substrate () in some embodiments. The multi-band folded inverted conformal antenna () includes planar sections and a slot (), and is capable of multi-mode operation. For example, one embodiment is configured to operate in a first common mode (), a differential mode (), and a second common mode (), thereby allowing the multi-band folded inverted conformal antenna () to operate in a first operational bandwidth, second operational bandwidth, and third operational bandwidth. Portions of the ground plane conductor () passing beneath the multi-band folded inverted conformal antenna () are selectively removed at areas corresponding to concentrations of electrical charge, thereby allowing a more low-profile design.
