A multiband planar antenna intended for small-sized radio devices and a
radio device. The basic structure of the antenna is a two-resonance P1FA,
the radiating plane (320) of which has a structural part (321)
corresponding to the lowest operating band and a structural part (322)
corresponding to the upper operating band. In addition, a loop resonator
(323) operating as a radiator is formed in the radiating plane. The
ground conductor (325) of the feed line of the loop is at the same time
the short-circuit conductor of the PIFA. The second conductor (326) of
the feed line is connected to the opposite end of the loop, and it
operates as the feed conductor of the PIFA. At the same time the
structural part (321) of the radiating plane that corresponds to the
lowest operating band is located between the loop and the structural part
of the PIFA that corresponds to the upper operating band, in order to
reduce interference between them. The resonance frequency of the loop
radiator is arranged on the upper operating band of the antenna, for
example. Thus the loop improves the matching of the antenna on the upper
operating band and the matching and efficiency on the lowest operating
band as well. This is based on additional inductance caused by the loop
conductor (323) that functions as a part of the feed conductor of the
PIFA.
