Abstract
An antenna including a substrate; top and bottom grounded conductive layers formed on respective larger faces of the substrate; an antenna feed coupled to at least one of the top and bottom grounded conductive layers, and configured to feed radio signals to the antenna; and at least one conductive wall formed to the top and bottom grounded conductive layers, and configured to form a short-circuit between the top and bottom grounded conductive layers, wherein the substrate and the at least one conductive wall forms a plurality of antenna cavities configured to operate at specific, respective frequencies, and each of the plurality of antenna cavities comprises at least two sides not covered by a conductive layer.
Claims25
An antenna, comprising:
- a substrate;
