Abstract
An antenna array formed of individual electrically connected pluralities of wideband antenna elements. The array features a centrally located rectangular ground plane having a top surface defined by four edges. Each of said pluralities of elements is engaged to a separate substrate which is engaged along one of the four edges. The substrates may be angled to adjust the footprint of the antenna.
Claims16
An antenna array comprising:
- said array formed of individual pluralities of electrically connected antenna elements;
- each element of each said plurality having:
- a substrate;
- a first substrate surface, a portion of which is covered with a conductive material, and a portion of which is uncovered;
- said conductive material forming a pair of horns, each of said pair of horns having substantially identical shapes and formed of substantially equal areas of said conductive material;
- each of said horns each extending in opposite directions to distal tips;
- a first cavity formed by said uncovered portion in-between said pair of horns;
- said first cavity having a mouth portion, said mouth portion beginning at a first edge along a line extending between said distal tips;
- said mouth portion reducing in cross-section as it extends from said first edge from a widest point substantially in-between said distal tips, to a narrowest point in between said pair of horns;
- said first cavity extending away from said narrowest point in a curve and extending into a first one of said horns;
- and
- a feedline electrically communicating at a first end with a feed electrically engaged to each said antenna element;
- and each said feedline at a second end configured for electrical communication with an RF receiver or transceiver.
