Abstract
Multiband monopole antennas are disclosed. The antennas disclosed can include a substrate for mounting conductors, one or more conductors for receiving networking signals mainly in a first frequency band, and one or more conductors for receiving networking signals mainly in a second frequency band. The conductors can have a polygonal shape or the conductors can have a linear, space-filling, or grid dimension shape. The conductors can be connected at a feed point. One or more antenna can be incorporated into a single printed circuit board. When multiple antennas are used with the same printed circuit board, the conducting material of the printed circuit board located between the antenna attachment points can be interrupted to improve the isolation of each antenna.
