A multiple-element antenna for a multi-band wireless mobile communication
device is provided. The multiple-element antenna includes a first antenna
element, a second antenna element positioned adjacent the first antenna
element, and a parasitic coupler positioned adjacent the first antenna
element and the second antenna element. In one embodiment, the first and
second antenna elements have respective first and second operating
frequency bands, and electromagnetically couple with each other and with
the parasitic coupler when the multiple-element antenna is operating in
the first or second operating frequency band. The first and second
antenna elements are configured to be connected to first and second
transceivers in a wireless mobile communication device in an alternate
embodiment.
