Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and an antenna for transmitting/receiving a RF signal at a plurality of different frequencies. Transmitting/receiving a RF signal at a plurality of different frequencies is achieved by providing a F antenna comprising a plurality of switches which can be used to adjust the resonant frequency of the antenna. By providing a F antenna, the antenna will be much smaller than the wavelength at which the antenna is operating. This allows the antenna to be used in compact devices such as PDA's and cellular phones.
