Abstract
A radiator for an antenna comprises a feed board and a metal radiating arm The feed board comprises an electrically conductive segment, through which the feed board feeds the metal radiating arm by means of capacitive coupling. The radiating arm includes a first arm segment extending in a first direction, and a second arm segment extending from an outer side region of the first arm segment in a second direction different from the first direction.
Claims29
A radiator for an antenna, comprising:
- a feed board having an electrically conductive segment,
- a printed circuit board (“PCB”) coupling arm having a printed electrically conductive segment;
- and
- a metal radiating arm that is supported on the PCB coupling arm, the metal radiating arm including a first arm segment extending in a first direction and a second arm segment extending in a second direction from an outer side region of the first arm segment, wherein the second direction is different from the first direction.
