Abstract
An ultra wide band antenna includes an antenna body including a first tapered portion that tapers between a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge is arranged above a first location of a sloped surface by a predetermined gap. A first portion is located above the sloped surface and including a first edge and a second edge. The first edge of the first portion extends from the second edge of the first tapered portion. A second tapered portion tapers between a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the second tapered portion extends from the second edge of the first portion. The second edge of the second tapered portion is connected at a second location of the sloped surface located vertically below the first location.
Claims17
An ultra wide band antenna, comprising:
- an antenna body including:
- a first tapered portion that tapers between a first edge and a second edge of the first tapered portion, wherein the first edge is arranged above a first location of a sloped surface by a predetermined gap;
- an intermediate portion located above the sloped surface and including a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the intermediate portion extends from the second edge of the first tapered portion;
- a second tapered portion that tapers between a first edge and a second edge of the second tapered portion, wherein the first edge of the second tapered portion extends from the second edge of the intermediate portion, and wherein the second edge of the second tapered portion is connected at a second location of the sloped surface located vertically below the first location;
- and
- a stepped surface arranged on the sloped surface and including a first surface and a second surface, wherein an antenna feed point is connected to the first edge of the first tapered portion above the first surface of the stepped surface,
- wherein the first tapered portion is arranged perpendicular to the first surface of the stepped surface.
An ultra wide band antenna, comprising:
- a sloped surface;
- a stepped surface arranged on the sloped surface;
- and
- an antenna body including:
- a first tapered portion that tapers between a first edge and a second edge of the first tapered portion, wherein the first edge is arranged above a first location of the stepped surface;
- an intermediate portion located above the sloped surface and including a first edge and a second edge, wherein the intermediate portion has a curved side profile, and wherein the first edge of the intermediate portion extends from the second edge of the first tapered portion;
- and
- a second tapered portion that tapers between a first edge and a second edge of the second tapered portion, wherein the first edge of the second tapered portion extends from the second edge of the intermediate portion, and wherein the second edge of the second tapered portion is connected to a second location of the sloped surface located vertically below the first location.
