Abstract
A multi-band antenna comprising a tree and a plurality of current probes coupled around the tree. Each current probe is designed to receive and transmit in a substantially different frequency band than the other current probes. The current probes are positioned on the tree so as to effectively create a plurality of transmit/receive antennas such that each respective antenna has a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than or equal to approximately 3:1 for a given range within each respective frequency band.
