Abstract

A dual-band antenna used in a wireless communication device includes a radiating body, a grounding portion, and feeding portion. The radiating body includes a first radiating portion and a second radiating portion connected to the first radiating portion. The grounding portion is connected to the first radiating portion. The feeding portion is also connected to the first radiating portion, and parallel to the grounding portion. The first radiating portion receives/sends wireless signals at a first frequency band. The second radiating portion receives/sends wireless signals at a second frequency band.

Claims
