Patent attributes
An antenna arrangement operable to transmit/receive in a first communications band and a second communications band, including a ground plane; a first conductive element for transmitting/receiving; a second conductive element separate from the first conductive element and the ground plane and having a first portion proximal to, but separated from the first conductive element and a second portion proximal to, but separated from the ground plane; and a switch element for connecting/disconnecting the second conductive element to the ground plane, wherein, the first conductive element, when the switch element disconnects the second conductive element from the ground plane, is operable to transmit/receive in a first communications band and is inoperable to transmit/receive in a second communications band and the first conductive element, when the switch element disconnects the second conductive element from the ground plane, is operable to transmit/receive in the second communications band and inoperable to transmit/receive in the first communications band.
