A multiband internal antenna apparatus and methods of tuning and utilizing the same. In one embodiment, the antenna configuration is used within a handheld mobile device (e.g., cellular telephone or smartphone). The device enclosure is fabricated from a conductive material and has two parts: the main portion, housing the device electronics and ground plane, and the antenna cap, which substantially envelops a directly fed radiator structure of the antenna. Electromagnetic coupling of the cap portion to the device feed effects formation of a parasitic antenna radiator in a lower frequency band. The cap portion is separated from the main portion by a narrow gap, extending along circumference of the device, and is grounded at a location selected to cause desired resonance and to widen antenna bandwidth. In one implementation, a second parasitic radiator is disposed proximate the directly feed radiator to further expand antenna frequency bands of operation. |
