Abstract
A multi-frequency band antenna may include a base and a first antenna array including a plurality of spaced apart monopole antenna elements extending outwardly from the base a first distance for operating at a first frequency. Further, the multi-frequency band antenna may also include a second antenna array including a plurality of spaced apart antenna elements arranged outside the first antenna array and extending outwardly from the base a second distance less than the first distance. The second antenna array may be for operating at a second frequency lower than the first frequency.
Claims49
A multi-frequency band antenna comprising:
- a base;
- a first antenna array comprising a plurality of spaced apart monopole antenna elements extending outwardly from said base a first distance and for operating at a first frequency;
- and
- a second antenna array comprising a plurality of spaced apart antenna elements arranged outside said first antenna array, extending outwardly from said base a second distance less than the first distance, and for operating at a second frequency lower than the first frequency.
A multi-frequency band antenna comprising:
- a base;
- a first antenna array comprising a plurality of spaced apart monopole antenna elements extending outwardly from said base;
- and
- a second antenna array comprising a plurality of spaced apart annular slotted antenna elements arranged outside said first antenna array and extending outwardly from said base.
A multi-frequency band antenna comprising:
- a base;
- a first antenna array comprising a plurality of spaced apart omni-directional monopole antenna elements extending outwardly from said base a first distance;
- and
- a second antenna array comprising a plurality of spaced apart omni-directional antenna elements arranged outside said first antenna array and extending outwardly from said base a second distance less than the first distance.
A method for making a multi-frequency band antenna comprising:
- mounting a plurality monopole antenna elements on a base in spaced relation and extending outwardly from the base a first distance to form a first antenna array, the first antenna array for operating at a first frequency;
- and
- mounting a plurality of antenna elements on the base in spaced relation outside the first antenna array and extending outwardly from the base a second distance less than the first distance to form a second antenna array, the second antenna array for operating at a second frequency lower than the first frequency.
A method for making a multi-frequency band antenna comprising:
- mounting a plurality of monopole antenna elements in spaced relation on a base an extending outwardly therefrom to form a first antenna array;
- and
- mounting a plurality of annular slotted antenna elements in spaced relation outside the first antenna array on the base and extending outwardly therefrom to form a second antenna array.
