A multiple-surface antenna, and a method of receiving signals using an antenna, are disclosed. The multi-surface antenna includes a multi-surface dielectric substrate and a conductive trace formed on at least two surfaces of the dielectric substrate. The conductive trace is formed in a predetermined pattern. The predetermined pattern may be a crossing pattern, or a series of symmetric shapes. The multi-surface dielectric substrate, having the trace formed thereon, may then be integrated entirely within a telephone handset. The method includes providing a multi-surface dielectric substrate, printing on at least two surfaces of the dielectric substrate a conductive trace formed into a periodic pattern, receiving at least one signal at the conductive trace, passing the received signal through at least a portion of the conductive trace, and feeding the received signal from the conductive trace to a coupled receiver. The coupled receiver may be a cellular or cordless telephone handset.
