Claims10
An antenna comprising:
- a ground plane;
- an antenna plane shaped as an irregular pentagon with two parallel sides, each of the two sides being perpendicular to a base side of the irregular pentagon, whereby the antenna plane is arranged above the ground plane;
- a first bar folded down from the antenna plane and fixed to the ground plane;
- a second bar and a third bar folded down from the base side to have electrical contact with the ground plane, wherein the second and third bar are coplanar;
- an electrical feed line is positioned between the ground plane and the antenna plane and extends toward the first bar through a gap formed between the second and third bar;
- wherein the ground plane, antenna plane, the first bar, the second bar, the third bar, and the feedline are arranged such that the antenna has a line of symmetry that provides mirror symmetry.
