CAPACITIVELY-TUNE BROADBAND ANTENNA STRUCTURE

摘要

An antenna assembly (12) for a wireless communication device (10) for receiving and transmitting a communication signal is disclosed. The wireless communication device (10) having a ground plane element (18) and a feedline conductor (48); the antenna assembly including a configured radiating conductor element (14) having a pair of opposed ends (32, 38) disposed proximate the ground plane element (18) and an intermediate extending portion (14) disposed away from the ground plane element (18) to define an interior region; the first and operatively coupled to the ground plane element (18); the second end (38) capacitively coupled to the ground plane element (18), and the intermediate extending portion (14) operatively coupled to the feedline conductor at a feed point (54) between the first end (32) and the second end (38).
