The present application provides an antenna system for use in an electronic device. The antenna system includes a conductive substrate having a width, which corresponds to the distance between two opposite side edges of the conductive substrate proximate one end of the device. The antenna system further includes a pair of conductive arms, where each conductive arm in the pair of conductive arms has a connected end, which couples to the conductive substrate at alternative ones of the opposite side edges of the conductive substrate proximate the one end of the device. Each conductive arm further has an open end which extends away from the respective coupled side edge toward the other one of the opposite side edges in a direction of extension. The open ends of the conductive arms in the pair extend toward one another, stopping short of touching or overlapping the other conductive arm in the pair in the direction of extension away from the respective coupled side edge. Correspondingly, a gap is present between the respective open ends of the pair of conductive arms. A signal source is coupled to each of conductive arms proximate the respective open ends of the pair of conductive arms for supplying a signal. The signal source is coupled to at least one of the conductive arms via a respective feed line conductor, where the feed line conductor, that is coupled to the open end of the at least one of the pair of conductive arms, extends in the direction of extension which traverses at least a portion of the gap between the open ends of the conductive arms.
