A multi-band antenna device for a portable radio communication device has
first and second radiating elements (10, 20). A controllable switch (30)
is arranged between the radiating elements for selectively
interconnecting and disconnecting thereof. The state of the switch is
controlled by means of a control voltage input (VSwitch). A filter (40)
that blocks radio frequency signals is arranged between the feeding
portion and the control voltage input. A DC blocking arrangement (50) is
arranged between a grounding portion (14) on the first radiating element
and ground wherein the first and second radiating element are generally
planar and arranged at a predetermined distance above a ground plane. By
means of this arrangement, two broad and spaced apart frequency bands are
obtained with retained performance and small overall size of the antenna
device. A communication device comprising such an antenna device is also
provided.
