Abstract

An antenna assembly for a mobile communication device. The antenna assembly can include a RF connection feed point and a planar radiating element including a conductive area split by a nonconductive gap which divides the planar radiating element into a first arm having an end coupled to the RF connection feed point and a second arm having an end coupled to the RF connection feed point. The antenna assembly can also include a first connection point coupled to the opposite end of the first arm from the RF connection feed point, the first connection point being selectively coupled to an impedance.
