Abstract
E-plane omni-directional antenna is described. In an embodiment, a transmission signal connection system includes a center conductive rod to communicate a radio frequency transmission signal, and includes one or more outer conductive rods that each provide a grounded return for the radio frequency transmission signal and shield the center conductive rod. The center conductive rod and the one or more outer conductive rods also couple a first antenna element to at least a second antenna element, and the center conductive rod couples the first antenna element and the at least second antenna element to the radio frequency transmission signal. Each antenna element includes coplanar waveguide dipoles that generate an e-field transmission which are combined to form an E-plane omni-directional transmission pattern.
Claims19
A transmission signal connection system, comprising:
- a center conductive rod configured to communicate a radio frequency transmission signal;
- and
- one or more outer conductive rods each configured to provide a grounded return for the radio frequency transmission signal, and further configured to shield the center conductive rod and to form a transverse electromagnetic propagated wave between the center conductive rod and an outer conductive rod.
A transmission signal connection system, comprising:
- one or more antenna elements;
- and
- a center conductive rod configured to couple a center section of multiple antenna elements to a radio frequency transmission signal, the center conductive rod further configured to couple the multiple antenna elements together;
- and
- one or more outer conductive rods that are nonconcentric with the center conductive rod and are each configured to couple a grounded return to each of multiple coplanar waveguide dipoles that form each of the multiple antenna elements.
A transmission signal connection system, comprising:
- one or more antenna elements;
- and
- a center conductive rod configured to couple multiple antenna elements to a radio frequency transmission signal;
- and
- one or more outer conductive rods each configured to provide a grounded return for the radio frequency transmission signal, and further configured to shield the center conductive rod;
- wherein the one or more outer conductive rods are each configured to concentrate an e-field between an outer conductive rod and the center conductive rod such that coplanar waveguide dipoles of each antenna element each generate an e-field transmission;
- and wherein the e-field transmissions from each of the coplanar waveguide dipoles combine to form an E-plane omni-directional transmission pattern.
