Abstract
An antenna assembly has a conductive line coupled to a feed point. An element is configured to resonate at a predetermined frequency. The element is electrically coupled to the conductive line and aligned perpendicular to the conductive line wherein the predetermined frequency of the element determines a distance from the feed point along the conductive line.
Claims8
A multi-element antenna assembly comprising:
- a first substrate comprising a central area with an opening;
- a second substrate extending at an angle from the first substrate;
- a first conductive line formed on a first surface of the first substrate;
- a second conductive line formed on the first surface of the first substrate;
- a first transmission line positioned through the opening and electrically coupled to the first conductive line and the second conductive line at a feed point;
- and
- a first plurality of elements positioned on the second substrate, the first plurality of elements having at least a highest frequency member and a corresponding highest frequency member and a lowest frequency member and a corresponding lowest frequency member, each of the highest frequency member and the corresponding highest frequency member resonating at different predetermined frequencies than the lowest frequency member and the corresponding lowest frequency member, wherein the highest frequency member of the first plurality of elements is electrically coupled to the first conductive line and the corresponding highest frequency member of the first plurality of elements is electrically coupled to the second conductive line, wherein the highest frequency member of the first plurality of elements is positioned at a first point a first distance from the feed point and the corresponding highest frequency member of the first plurality of elements is positioned at a second point the first distance from the feed point;
- wherein the different predetermined frequencies determine a distance from the feed point along the first conductive line and the second conductive line for each of the first plurality of elements.
