Abstract
Dipole antenna arrays are disclosed. An example dipole antenna array includes a ground plane having a first serrated edge, and a first dipole antenna, at least a portion of the first dipole antenna disposed parallel to the first serrated edge.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a ground plane having an edge, wherein the edge includes a plurality of spaced-apart members, and wherein a first spaced-apart member of the plurality of spaced-apart members includes a first non-conductive portion.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB), including:
- a ground plane having an edge, wherein the edge includes a plurality of members having a space between each of the plurality of members, and wherein a first member includes a resistor;
- and
- a dipole antenna having a portion disposed parallel to the edge.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- forming a bottom substrate;
- forming a first ground plane on the bottom substrate;
- forming a pattern of spaced-apart members on an edge of the first ground plane, wherein the pattern is selected from one of a serrated, a toothed, a comb, a notched, or a fingered pattern;
- forming a second substrate on the first ground plane;
- forming an antenna on the second substrate along the edge of the first ground plane;
- forming a third substrate on the antenna;
- and
- forming a second ground plane on the third substrate having the pattern of spaced-apart members on an edge of the second ground plane.
