Abstract
A balance antenna is disclosed herein. The balanced antenna comprises a first planar conductor layer forming an first infinite balun, a second planar conductor layer forming a second infinite balun, and a feeding gap. A cable transports a radio signal from the antenna to a radio and from a radio to the antenna. The first infinite balun and the second infinite balun transform an unbalanced transmission line characteristic of the cable to the balanced feeding of the antenna.
