Abstract

Dual-band retractable radiotelephone antennas have an elongated antenna element, a top load element, and a trap positioned between and electrically connected to the elongated antenna element and the top load element. The trap facilitates obtaining half-wave monopole performance at a first frequency band and half-wave monopole performance at a second higher frequency band.
