Abstract

An antenna includes first and second convex-curved antenna elements, which are connected in series via webs extending in a longitudinal direction of the antenna, such that they form a helical configuration. A further antenna element may extend parallel to the helical configuration. The antenna can be stamped from a single metal part, can be bent into a desired shape, and is particularly suitable for multiband applications.
