ABSTRACT:
An antenna arrangement (1000) for use in an RF communication terminal including a plurality of resonators (1003, 1005, 1007, 1009) formed from a plurality of conducting wires (1002, 1004, 1008, 1010, 1012) the resonators being operable to provide radio frequency resonances in at least two different operational frequency bands (VHF, UHF, 700/800 MHz, GPS ranges) the wires being mutually adjacent and at least three of the wires having different lengths, and a plurality of radio frequency feed channels (113, 115, 117, 119) each being operably connected to an associated one of the resonators to deliver an RF signal between that resonator and an associated radio.
