Abstract
The present invention relates to an antenna element for a portable communication device as well as to a portable communication device including such an antenna element. The antenna element includes a wire of an electrically conducting material having a first and a second feeding end for connection to a radio communication unit and ground. The wire also has a winding section comprising a number of turns around a central axis. The last turn of the winding section, which is provided furthest from the first feeding end is in physical contact with the previous turn and the rest of the turns are separated from each other.
Claims16
An antenna element including an electrically conductive wire, the electrically conductive wire comprising:
- a first feeding end connected to a radio communication unit and a ground;
- a second feeding end connected to the radio communication unit and the ground;
- and
- a winding section including a number of turns about a central axis, wherein a final one of the turns that is furthest from the first feeding end contacts a penultimate one of the turns, and others of the turns are not in contact with each other.
A communication device including a radio communication unit, a ground plane, at least one mass block, and an antenna element, the antenna element comprising:
- an electrically conductive wire including:
- a first feeding end connected to the radio communication unit and the ground plane,
- a second feeding end connected to the radio communication unit and the ground plane, and
- a winding section including a number of windings about a central axis, wherein a final winding of the winding section contacts a penultimate winding of the winding section, and others of the windings are separated from each other.
