Estimating the term…
According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of bow tie antennas and antenna assemblies that include the same. In an exemplary embodiment, a bow tie antenna includes a pair of antenna elements. Each antenna element includes spaced apart end portions defining an open portion such that the antenna element has an open shape. The open shape is closed by dielectric material disposed between the spaced apart end portions and extending across a gap separating the spaced apart end portions, whereby the dielectric material and pair of antenna elements cooperatively define a closed bow tie shape for the bow tie antenna.
An antenna assembly operable within at least a first bandwidth ranging from about 470 megahertz to about 698 megahertz, the antenna assembly comprising:
An antenna assembly operable for receiving high definition television signals within a frequency bandwidth ranging from about 470 megahertz to about 698 megahertz, the antenna assembly comprising at least one pair of bow tie antennas spaced apart from each other, each said bow tie antenna including a pair of antenna elements, each said antenna element including a closed portion and spaced apart end portions defining an open portion whereby dielectric is positionable between the spaced apart end portions.
A bow tie antenna suitable for use in an antenna assembly operable for receiving high definition television signals within a frequency bandwidth ranging from about 470 megahertz to about 698 megahertz, the bow tie antenna comprising a pair of antenna elements, each said antenna element including spaced apart end portions defining an open portion such that the antenna element has an open shape whereby the open shape is closable by dielectric positionable between the spaced apart end portions.
