An antenna arrangement for a radio communications apparatus such as a
mobile phone, comprises a substantially planar patch conductor having a
first feed connection point for connection to radio circuitry and a
second feed connection point for connection to a ground plane, a first,
differential slot in the patch conductor between the first and second
connection points and a second, dual band slot located in the patch
conductor outside the area between the first and second connection
points. The length of the first slot is greater than a quarter
wavelength, and provides a third resonant frequency increasing the
bandwidth of the antenna. The width of the patch conductor between the
first and the second slots is selected to obtain a low impedance
transformation and thereby a low antenna resistance causing detuning the
antenna. A user holding the phone increases the antenna resistance
thereby tuning the antenna.
