Abstract
A polymorphic antenna, including a metallic template configurable in at least first and second possible different three-dimensional shapes, the antenna, when configured in the at least first and second different three-dimensional shapes, having a common antenna feed point, a common balun coupled to the common antenna feed point; and a common dipole coupled to the common antenna feed point and to the common balun. The antenna operates in a common frequency band when configured in either of the at least first and second different three-dimensional shapes when fed via the common antenna feed point.
Claims20
A polymorphic antenna, comprising:
- a metallic template configurable in at least first and second possible different three-dimensional shapes,
- said antenna, when configured in said at least first and second different three-dimensional shapes, having:
- a common antenna feed point;
- a common balun coupled to the common antenna feed point;
- and
- a common dipole coupled to the common antenna feed point and to the common balun, and
- said antenna operating in a common frequency band when configured in either of said at least first and second different three-dimensional shapes and fed via the common antenna feed point.
A method for implementing a polymorphic antenna, comprising:
- configuring a metallic template in at least first and second possible different three-dimensional shapes;
- arranging said antenna, when the metallic template is configured in said at least first and second different three-dimensional shapes, to have:
- a common antenna feed point,
- a common balun coupled to the common antenna feed point, and
- a common dipole coupled to the common antenna feed point and to the common balun;
- and
- arranging said antenna to operate in a common frequency band when configured in either of said at least first and second different three-dimensional shapes and fed via the common antenna feed point.
