Abstract
A mobile wireless communications device may include a portable housing, at least one wireless transceiver carried by the portable housing, and at least one satellite positioning signal receiver carried by the portable housing. The device may also include an antenna assembly carried by the portable housing. The antenna assembly may include a base conductor having a pair of shorted antenna feed points defined therein and coupled to the at least one wireless transceiver and the at least one satellite positioning receiver, and a first conductor aim extending outwardly from the base conductor. The antenna assembly may also include a second conductor arm also extending outwardly from the base conductor. The second conductor arm may include a proximal conductor portion adjacent the base conductor, a distal conductor portion, and an inductor-capacitor circuit coupling the proximal and distal conductor portions.
