Abstract
Apparatus including a ground member oriented in a first orientation; and an antenna including a first portion having a non-overlaying arrangement with the ground member, the first portion being oriented in a second orientation, different to the first orientation.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- a ground member oriented in a first orientation;
- at least one feed point configured to couple to radio circuitry;
- and
- an antenna including a first portion having a non-overlaying arrangement with the ground member, the first portion being oriented in a second orientation, different to the first orientation, wherein the first portion is positioned outside of a perimeter of the ground member,
- wherein the antenna includes a second portion, extending from the first portion, having an overlaying arrangement with the ground member, the second portion being oriented in the first orientation, and the second portion being configured to have an electrical length,
- wherein the antenna includes a third portion formed proximate an end of the first portion, having an overlaying arrangement with the ground member, and being oriented in the first orientation, wherein the third portion comprises at least one feed leg, the at least one feed leg being coupled to the at least one feed point, wherein the third portion is configured to have an electrical length,
- wherein the antenna includes a fourth portion having a non-overlaying arrangement with the ground member, the fourth portion being oriented in a third orientation, different to the first and second orientations,
- wherein the antenna comprises a single conductive track configured to extend between a first end of the track and a second end of the track at least via the third portion, a part of the first portion, the second portion, another part of the first portion, the fourth portion, and a further part of the first portion, and
- wherein the first end of the track is coupled to the feed leg.

A method comprising:
- providing a ground member oriented in a first orientation;
- and
- providing at least one feed point configured to couple to radio circuitry;
- providing an antenna including a first portion having a non-overlaying arrangement with the ground member and the first portion being oriented in a second orientation, different to the first orientation,
- wherein the first portion is positioned outside of a perimeter of the ground member,
- wherein the antenna includes a second portion, extending from the first portion, having an overlaying arrangement with the ground member, the second portion being oriented in the first orientation, and the second portion being configured to have an electrical length
- wherein the antenna includes a third portion formed proximate an end of the first portion, having an overlaying arrangement with the ground member, and being oriented in the first orientation, wherein the third portion comprises at least one feed leg, the at least one feed leg being coupled to the at least one feed point, wherein the third portion is configured to have an electrical length,
- wherein the antenna includes a fourth portion having a non-overlaying arrangement with the ground member, the fourth portion being oriented in a third orientation, different to the first and second orientations,
- wherein the antenna comprises a single conductive track configured to extend between a first end of the track and a second end of the track at least via the third portion, a part of the first portion, the second portion, another part of the first portion, the fourth portion, and a further part of the first portion, and
- wherein the first end of the track is coupled to the feed leg.
