Abstract
The present application discloses various implementations of an antenna configured for use in a wireless transmitter, receiver, or transceiver. In one exemplary implementation, a wireless transmitter includes the antenna configured to be connected to the wireless transmitter. The antenna includes first and second substantially concentric pluralities of antenna elements, the second plurality of antenna elements being rotated with respect to the first plurality of antenna elements. The antenna is configured to enable the wireless transmitter to transmit a communication signal.
Claims20
A wireless transmitter comprising:
- at least one antenna comprising:
- a dielectric substrate;
- first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements arranged side-by-side in a circular pattern on the dielectric substrate, said second plurality of triangular antenna elements being interleaved among said first plurality of triangular antenna elements in a circumferential direction of the circular pattern, the first and second pluralities of triangular antenna elements being disposed on a same plane;
- and
- a ground plane on a side of the dielectric substrate that is opposite the first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements,
- wherein said first and second pluralities of triangular antenna elements are configured to generate a communication signal of said wireless transmitter.
A wireless transceiver comprising:
- a transmitter, a receiver, and at least one antenna configured to be connected to at least one of said transmitter and said receiver, said at least one antenna comprising:
- a dielectric substrate;
- first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements arranged side-by-side in a circular pattern on the dielectric substrate, said second plurality of triangular antenna elements being interleaved among said first plurality of triangular antenna elements in a circumferential direction of the circular pattern, the first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements being disposed on a same plane;
- and
- a ground plane on a side of the dielectric substrate that is opposite the first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements,
- wherein said first and second pluralities of triangular antenna elements are configured to respectively generate/receive a communication signal for said at least one of said transmitter and said receiver.
A wireless receiver comprising:
- at least one antenna including:
- a dielectric substrate;
- first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements arranged side-by-side in a circular pattern on the dielectric substrate, said second plurality of triangular antenna elements being interleaved among said first plurality of triangular antenna elements in a circumferential direction of the circular pattern, the first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements being disposed on a same plane;
- and
- a ground plane on a side of the dielectric substrate that is opposite the first and second coaxial pluralities of triangular antenna elements,
- wherein said first and second pluralities of triangular antenna elements are configured to receive a communication signal of said wireless receiver.
