Abstract

A compound loop antenna (CPL) is described that includes a capacitively fed magnetic loop and/or a capacitively fed electric field radiator. Embodiments include single-band CPL antennas and multi-band CPL antennas. The CPL antennas have been reduced in physical size by capacitively feeding the loop and/or radiator. The embodiments include at least one e-field radiation element that is capacitively coupled or not capacitively coupled, at least one magnetic loop element that is capacitively coupled. A continuation of the magnetic loop may be continued with either a wire or a connection to a second layer.
