The radio unit includes a first radio member and a second radio member connected to the first radio member. The first radio member and the second radio member have similar shapes and sizes to each other and are aligned with each other. The base circuit board is connected to the second radio member to provide feed signals to the radio unit and connect the radio unit to the ground. The first radio member independently sends/receives wireless signals at a first frequency, and the second radio member is coupled with the first radio member, thereby cooperating with the first radio member to send/receive wireless signals at a second working frequency. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A multiband antenna, comprising: a radio unit including a first radio member and a second radio member connected to the first radio member, the first radio member and the second radio member having similar shapes and sizes to each other and aligned with each other;
