          Application 08/110,807                                                      


               Appellants have appealed to the Board from the examiner's              
          final rejection of claims 1 and 3 through 21, which constitute              
          all the claims in the application.                                          


               Representative claim 1 is reproduced below:                            
               1.  An antenna arrangement comprising at least two                     
          antennas spaced from one another by a distance related to a                 
          frequency band over which communications are to take place,                 
          each of said antennas including:                                            
               a metallic base plate which is disposed on a first                     
          printed circuit board and forms a ground plane;                             
               a folded radiating element formed on a second printed                  
          circuit board and having a first linear portion which extends               
          in a direction generally perpendicular to said base plate and               
          a second linear portion connected to said first portion and                 
          extending in a direction generally parallel to said base                    
          plate;                                                                      
               a shunt inductance connected between said radiating                    
          element and said base plate; and                                            
               a cable having a first conductor connected to said first               
          portion of said radiating element and a second conductor                    
          connected to said base plate.
