An antenna system (100) comprising a first electromagnetic radiator (102)
and a second electromagnetic radiator (104) is provided. The first
electromagnetic radiator incorporates an off-center series feed (112) at
a pre-defined distance from a first end (114) of the antenna system. The
second electromagnetic radiator incorporates a shunt feed (120) at a
second pre-defined distance from a second end (122) of the antenna
system. The first electromagnetic radiator is used primarily for plural
band transmission-reception and the second electromagnetic radiator for
antenna diversity band reception.
