Abstract
A long term evolution outdoor antenna and module that provides a compact design for wide band performance is provided. In one embodiment, the antennas comprises a top element, a feed coupled to the top element, and an unbalanced communication line coupled to the feed via a bottom element, wherein a dielectric layer is formed between the bottom element and the feed.
Claims20
An antenna comprising:
- a top element;
- a feed coupled to the top element;
- and
- an unbalanced communication line coupled to the feed via a bottom element, wherein a non-conductive area is located between the bottom element and the feed.
1 more element
An antenna system, comprising:
- a vertical polarity portion, wherein the vertical polarity portion comprises at least two vertical antennas;
- and
- a horizontal polarity portion, wherein the, horizontal polarity portion comprises at least two horizontal antennas, wherein the vertical polarity portion and the horizontal polarity portion are parallel, wherein the at least two vertical antennas and the at least two horizontal antennas each comprise:
- a top element;
- a feed coupled to the top element;
- and
- an unbalanced communication line coupled to the feed via a bottom element, wherein a non-conductive area is located between the bottom element and the feed.
4 more elements
A method for performing an optimization sequence for a plurality of antennas, comprising:
- selecting, via a primary switch, a first antenna of n;
- cycling, via a secondary switch, through a remaining n−1 antennas;
- storing a signal strength for the remaining n−1 antennas;
- selecting, via the primary switch, a subsequent antenna;
