Abstract
An antenna having a radiating surface (1) and a base surface (2). One or more discrete components (3) are arranged between the radiating surface (1) and the base surface (2). The radiating surface (1) has a tapering with respect to its width B and with respect to its height H from the base surface (2).
Claims4
An antenna structure comprising a radiating surface and a base surface, wherein:
- at least one discrete component is arranged between the radiating surface and the base surface;
- the radiating surface has a width B and has a tapering with respect to said width B and with respect to a height H which is a measure of a distance between said radiating surface and said base surface;
- the radiating surface has a slot implemented perpendicular to its longitudinal dimension L, the slot being surrounded on all sides by the radiating surface;
- and
- the slot is bridged by at least one discrete reactive element that influences a radiation diagram of the antenna structure.

An antenna structure comprising a radiating surface and a base surface, wherein:
- at least one discrete component is arranged between the radiating surface and the base surface;
- the radiating surface has a width B and has a tapering with respect to said width B and with respect to a height H which is a measure of a distance between said radiating surface and said base surface;
- the radiating surface has a non-constant tapering with respect to the height H and the width B;
- the base surface has a configuration that is one of planar and curved;

- the radiating surface has a configuration conformal with the configuration of the base surface.
3 more elements
An arrangement comprising a plurality of antenna structures, each of the plurality of antenna structures comprising:
- a first radiating surface and a second radiating surface offset from each other,
- wherein at least one discrete component is arranged between said first and second radiating surfaces, each of said first and second radiating surfaces having a width and a tapering with respect to said width and with respect to a distance from each of said first and second radiating surfaces to a plane bisecting a distance between said first and second radiating surfaces with said first and second radiating surfaces mirroring said bisecting plane,
- wherein the plurality of antenna structures are arranged along a circumference of a cylinder-shaped supporting structure.
