Broad band dipole antenna

Abstract

A broad band dipole antenna includes a first top radiator which is a planar polygonal shaped surface arranged parallel to vertical axis of the broad band dipole antenna, a first bottom radiator which is a planar polygonal shaped surface arranged parallel to the first radiator and below of the first top radiator, a first coupler which is a planar polygonal shaped surface arranged in close proximity to both the first top radiator and the first bottom radiator, N−1 top radiators where each next top radiator is a copy of the previous top radiator which is rotated by approximately 360°/N around the vertical axis, where N is an integer greater than one, N−1 bottom radiators where each next bottom radiator is a copy of the previous bottom radiator which is rotated by approximately 360′/N around the vertical axis, N−1 couplers where each next coupler is a copy of the previous coupler which is rotated by approximately 360′/N around the vertical axis, a first jumper which connects bottom sides of all the top radiators, and a second jumper which connects top sides of all the bottom radiators.
