Abstract: A plurality of three-dimensional radiator elements, each radiator element transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves by a radiating top side. The radiator elements are arranged so that their radiating top sides are substantially parallel and so that at least one pair of adjacent radiator elements are separated by a dielectric gap between sidewalls, the gap behaving like a waveguide which couples electromagnetic interferences with the electromagnetic waves. The adjacent radiator elements further comprise a structure to suppress the coupling effect without establishing a galvanic contact with its adjacent radiator element.

Abstract: Provided is an isolation antenna for a repeater which can acquire high isolation by using loop and dipole antennas, which are positioned in opposite directions to each other based on a shielding means, in a unidirectional repeater generally used in broadcasting or wireless communications even though transmitting antenna/receiving antennas having a co-channel are set up closely to each other. The transmitting/receiving isolation antenna includes: a shielding means including an electric conductor; a first antenna of a dipole antenna type in one side of the shielding means; and a second antenna of a loop antenna type in an opposite side of the shielding means where the first antenna is positioned.

Abstract: Radome with an integrated plasma shutter covering an antenna and method for selectively shielding an antenna. The radome includes a honeycomb core formed to contain a plasma-guiding layer, and coverplates arranged to sandwich the honeycomb core. Electrodes are structured and arranged for plasma excitation, the electrodes being high frequency (HF)—transparent at least in an operating frequency range of the antenna. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: An electrically small supergain endfire transmitting and receiving array antenna comprising at least one first resonant element with a first input terminal. The first resonant element driven by a power supply voltage supplied at the first input terminal. The electrically small supergain endfire transmitting and receiving array antenna further includes at least one second resonant parasitic element with a second input terminal. The second input terminal shorted and the second resonant element spaced less than about 0.25? from the first resonant element at any corresponding point. The antenna has a gain of at least 6 db and ka<1.0.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact wideband antenna of the dipole type comprising a first 1 and a second 2 conductive arm supplied differentially, one of the arms called first arm 1 forming at least one cover for an electronic card. Said type of antenna is connected to a portable electronic appliance such as a PC or similar device.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a shorted monopole antenna. The antenna includes a ground portion, a radiating portion, a shorting portion, an assembling portion, and a coaxial cable. The ground portion includes a signal grounding point. The radiating portion is located above the ground portion and bent at least once, and includes a signal feeding point. One end of the shorting portion is connected to one of the short edges of the ground portion, and the other end is connected to one edge portion of the radiating portion. The assembling portion is connected to the long edge of the ground portion. The coaxial cable includes an inner conductor and an outer conductor, which are connected to the signal feeding point and the signal grounding point respectively. The antenna invented has good impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics, can easily be installed inside the housing of an electronic device, and is well suitable for applications in wireless communications devices.

Abstract: An antenna element 1 is installed at a glass part 5 of a vehicle 4. The antennal element 1 has a ground part 3 and a radiating element 2. A metallic part side ground part 3b of the ground part 3 is overlapped with a metallic part 6 of the vehicle 4, while a glass part side ground part 3a of the ground part 3 and the radiating element 2 are not overlapped with the metallic part 6. The ground part 3 is installed such that a ratio of the area of the glass part side ground part 3a to be overlapped with the glass part 5 to the area of the metallic part side ground part 3b to be overlapped with the metallic part 6 is from 1:5 to 1:10.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna that produces a radiation pattern that is axisymmetric about a geometrical axis (X) and exhibits a radiation maximum in a plane perpendicular to the direction of said X axis that includes a feed wire extending along said axis (X) from a first end situated level with a conducting surface forming an earth plane of the antenna to a second end that feeds a set of N radiating strands, N being an integer, characterized in that it also includes at least one earth return rod for the strands, said rod linking one of the radiating strands of the set to the earth plane.
