a first ground surface having a first slot;

an antenna body placed above the first ground surface and having a second slot, a feed pin and a ground surface pin; and

a second ground surface configured above the antenna body.

2. The multi-band antenna according to claim 1,

wherein the first slot has a T shape or a hook shape.

3. The multi-band antenna according to claim 1,

wherein the second slot has a spiral shape.

4. The multi-band antenna according to claim 1,

wherein the width of the second slot ranges from 0.3 mm to 1 mm.

5. The multi-band antenna according to claim 3,

wherein the spiral shape is formed in a line with a few bent parts.

6. The multi-band antenna according to claim 1,
