Multi-band antenna system
First Claim
1. An antenna comprising:
- first and second plate conductors, which are substantially symmetric, dimensions of each plate conductor including a respective length and width, where the first and second plate conductors are separated by a central slot having a predetermined width, each of the first and second plate conductors includes a respective primary feed point proximate the central slot, which together are adapted for receiving a differential signal; and
wherein the first and second plate conductors are adapted for radiating one or more signals at two or more frequencies, where the two or more frequencies are dependent upon one or more of the dimensions of the first and second plate conductors in relation to the respective feed point.

Abstract
An antenna (100) is provided, which can be used in a wireless communication device or a base transceiver station forming part of the infrastructure of a wireless communication system. The antenna includes a first plate conductor (102) and a second plate conductor (104), which are substantially symmetric. The first plate conductor and the second plate conductor are separated by a central slot (106) and include respective primary feed points proximate the central slot, which are adapted for receiving a differential signal from a differential signal source (108). The first plate conductor and the second plate conductor exhibit at least a first frequency response (F1) and a second frequency response (F2) dependent on various dimensions of both the first plate conductor and the second plate conductor, relative to their respective primary feed point.
