Abstract
An antenna including an electrically conductive portion defined substantially by a self-similar geometry present at multiple resolutions. The electrically conductive portion includes two or more angular bends and is configured to radiate broadband electromagnetic energy. The antenna further includes an electrically non-conductive portion that structurally supports the electrically conductive portion.
Claims17
An antenna comprising:
- a first electrically conductive element portion configured to radiate broadband electromagnetic energy, defined substantially by a self-similar geometry present at multiple resolutions, wherein the electrically conductive portion includes two sections offset from each other to each side along a conductive feed each portion with bends whereby the tangent slopes to each side of the bend are not that o a circular arc and whereby a second electrically conductive element mirrors that of the first element through a 180 degree rotation.
A radio frequency identification system comprising:
- an antenna including a first electrically conductive element portion configured to radiate broadband electromagnetic energy, defined substantially by a self-similar geometry present at multiple resolutions, wherein the electrically conductive portion includes two sections offset from each other to each side along a conductive feed each portion with bends whereby the tangent slopes to each side of the bend are not that o a circular arc and whereby a second electrically conductive element mirrors that of the first element through a 180 degree rotation;
- and
- an integrated circuit in communication with the antenna, wherein the integrated circuit is configured to respond to an electromagnetic signal received by the antenna.
