A radio antenna is designed for use on a circuit board having a slot. The
antenna is shaped such that one radiator segment is located in the slot
while the other segment is located outside the slot. As such, the total
thickness of the circuit board and the disposed antenna can be reduced.
The antenna can be a chip antenna having a support block for disposing
the radiator segments on opposite sides of the support block. The support
block can have steps so that one or more different radiator segments can
be disposed on the step surfaces, and the circuit board has a plurality
of electrically conductive strips separately connected to the radiator
segments on the step surfaces to provide grounding and feed to the
antenna.
