Abstract
A first-band radiating element configured to operate in a first frequency band may be designed for reducing distortion associated with one or more second-band radiating element configured to operate in a second frequency band. The first-band radiating element may include a first printed circuit board. The first printed circuit board may include a first surface including a first feed line connected to a feed network of a feed board of an antenna. The radiating element may also include a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface may include one or more first conductive planes connected to a ground plane of the feed board; and one or more first open-end traces coupled to the one or more conductive planes.
