ANTENNA INCLUDING FIRST AND SECOND RADIATING ELEMENTS HAVING SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES

摘要

An apparatus including an antenna for wireless communications is disclosed. The antenna includes a first radiating element and a second radiating element electromagnetically coupled to and electrically isolated from the first radiating element. The first radiating element includes at least one characteristic feature that is substantially the same as at least one characteristic feature of the second radiating element. The first radiating element may be configured as a planar monopole having various shapes, such as elliptical, circular, triangular, square, rectangular, diamond, or polygon. The planar monopole may further be electrically coupled to a flat or curved metallic load. The first radiating element may also be configured as a cone. The second radiating element may be configured as a flat or curved metal structure.;COPYRIGHT KIPO & WIPO 2010
