Abstract

An antenna is provided that is adapted to operate in multiple frequency bands. The antenna consists of a first antenna element for receiving and transmitting signals in a first frequency band, and a second antenna element for receiving and transmitting signals in a second frequency band. The first antenna element has a substantially elongated conductor of a predetermined first pitch, which is coupled to a feed point. The second antenna element has a substantially meandering coil of a predetermined second pitch, which is coupled to said feed point. The substantially meandering coil comprises a plurality of first portions having a wound form and surrounding at least partly said first antenna element, and also comprises a plurality of second portions having a straight form. The first portion extends from an upper end of said second portion to a lower end of a subsequent second portion following in axial direction of the second antenna element.
