Abstract
A portable communication device includes a radio circuit for feeding antenna elements, at least one component which is mildly sensitive to external radio transmission, and an antenna arrangement for sending and receiving radio traffic. The antenna arrangement includes a first antenna element located within and extending through a major portion of the device, and a second smaller antenna element connected to the first antenna element. The radio circuit is connected between the two antenna elements and the component is provided on a section of the antenna arrangement making small contributions to the antenna currents in the antenna arrangement.

A portable communication device comprising:
- an antenna arrangement for sending and receiving radio traffic, the antenna arrangement comprising:
- a first flat antenna element located within and extending through a major portion of the device, and
- a second antenna element comprising an elongated body extending essentially along a side of the first antenna element and being connected to the first antenna element at a first end of the side of the first antenna element thereby providing a gap between the first and second antenna elements, the gap having a length generally defined by the length of the side of the first antenna element and the length of the second antenna element,
- a radio circuit for feeding antenna elements connected between the first and second antenna element between the first and a second end of the side of the first antenna element, and
- at least one additional antenna configured for a type of communication, provided on a section of the antenna arrangement making contributions to the antenna currents in the antenna arrangement.
