1. A multi-band radio antenna device for a radio communication terminal, comprising:
a first radiating element;
a second radiating element; and
an integral feed and ground structure electrically connected to the first radiating antenna element and the second radiating antenna element,
said first radiating antenna element comprising a first continuous trace of conductive material, the first continuous trace comprising:
a first branch tuned to radiate at first frequencies in a first frequency band, and
a second branch tuned to radiate in a second frequency band at second frequencies approximately equal to or greater than two times the first frequencies, and
said second radiating antenna element comprising a second continuous trace of conductive material, the second continuous trace comprising a third branch capacitively coupled to said second branch, wherein said third branch is not capacitively coupled to said first branch.
