Cross-dipole radiating elements having wide cloaking bandwidths

A radiating element, comprising

• a feed stalk;
• a first dipole radiator that includes a first dipole arm and a second dipole arm;
• and
• a second dipole radiator that includes a third dipole arm and a fourth dipole arm;
• wherein the first dipole arm comprises a conductive loop and a first transverse meandered conductive trace that connects a first side section of the conductive loop to a second side section of the conductive loop, where the first transverse meandered conductive trace divides the conductive loop into an inner loop and an outer loop.

A radiating element, comprising

• a first dipole radiator that includes a first dipole arm and a second dipole arm;
• and
• a second dipole radiator that includes a third dipole arm and a fourth dipole arm;
• wherein the first dipole arm comprises a conductive loop that comprises a plurality of conductive patches that are interconnected by a plurality of meandered conductive traces, and
• wherein a first meandered conductive trace in the plurality of meandered conductive traces has a width that is at least three times less than an average of the widths of the conductive patches and a path length that is at least three times longer than an average of the path lengths of the conductive patches.
