First Claim
11. A printed circuit board mountable reflector configured to reflect a radio frequency (RF) signal, comprising:
- a stem configured to extend away from the PCB;
an element coupled to the stem and extending perpendicular to the stem; and
at least one coupling plate coupled to a base of the stem and configured to be coupled to the PCB.

Abstract
A mountable antenna element is constructed as an object from a single piece of material and can be configured to transmit and receive RF signals, achieve optimized impedance values, and operate in a concurrent dual-band system. The mountable antenna element may have one or more legs, an RF signal feed, and one or impedance matching elements. The legs and RF signal feed can be coupled to a circuit board. The impedance matching elements can be utilized to create a capacitance with a portion of the circuit board and thereby optimize impedance of the antenna element at a desired operating frequency. The mountable antenna includes features that enable it for use in concurrent dual band operation with the wireless device. Because the mountable antenna element can be installed without needing additional circuitry for matching impedance and can be constructed from a single piece of material, the antenna element provides for more efficient manufacturing.
