Abstract
Radiating elements include a first dipole radiator that extends along a first axis, the first dipole radiator including a first pair of dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a first frequency and a second pair of dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a second frequency that is different than the first frequency. Each dipole arm in the first pair of dipole arms comprises a plurality of widened sections that are connected by intervening narrowed sections.

A radiating element, comprising:
- a first dipole radiator that extends along a first axis, the first dipole radiator including first and second dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a first frequency and third and fourth dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a second frequency that is different than the first frequency,
- wherein each of the first and second dipole arms comprises a plurality of conductive segments that are on a first side of a printed circuit board and each of the third and fourth dipole arms comprises a plurality of conductive segments that are on a second side of the printed circuit board,
- wherein at least two adjacent ones of the conductive segments in the third dipole arm are electrically connected to each other by a first meandered conductive trace that is on the first side of the printed circuit board.
A radiating element, comprising:
- a first dipole radiator that extends along a first axis, the first dipole radiator including a first pair of dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a first frequency and a second pair of dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a second frequency that is different than the first frequency,
- wherein each dipole arm in the first pair of dipole arms comprises a plurality of widened sections that are connected by intervening narrowed sections, and
- wherein each of the dipole arms in the first pair of dipole arms includes more widened sections than do each of the dipole arms in the second pair of dipole arms.
A radiating element, comprising:
- a feed stalk printed circuit board;
- and
- a dipole printed circuit board mounted on the feed stalk printed circuit board, the dipole printed circuit board including a first dipole radiator that includes a first pair of dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a first frequency and a second pair of dipole arms that are configured to resonate at a second frequency that is different than the first frequency,
- wherein the first pair of dipole arms comprises a metal pattern on a first layer of the dipole printed circuit board and the second pair of dipole arms comprises a metal pattern on a second layer of the dipole printed circuit board,
- wherein each dipole arm in the first pair of dipole arms comprises a plurality of spaced apart conductive segments that define a full loop, and each dipole arm in the second pair of dipole arms comprises a plurality of spaced apart conductive segments that only define a portion of a loop.
A radiating element, comprising:
- a first dipole radiator that extends along a first axis, the first dipole radiator including first and second dipole arms that each have a first electrical length and third and fourth dipole arms that each have a second electrical length that is different than the first electrical length, the first and second dipole arms overlap the third and fourth dipole arms and separated from the third and fourth dipole arms by a dielectric layer,
- wherein the first dipole is galvanically coupled to the third dipole arm through a plated through hole that galvanically connects a first conductive segment of the first dipole arm to a first conductive segment of the third dipole arm, wherein the first conductive segment is interposed between a pair of meandered conductive traces that are part of the first dipole arm.
