Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2381527A1] Antenna assembly (200A-200H) having an electrically or virtually extended ground plane, adapted for use in a mobile communications device (400), for example. The antenna assembly (200A-200H) comprises at least one radiation element (204) having an operating frequency and a ground plane (202) coupled to the radiation element (204). At least one conductive member (211A, 211B) is electrically coupled to the ground plane (202) at one or more connection points (208A, 208B) such that the conductive member (211A, 211B) forms a loop (206) with the ground plane (202) having a minimum distance (h) therefrom that is less than a predetermined fraction of one wavelength of the operating frequency.
