  • Multiband omnidirectional antenna
    Patent number: 8004465
    Abstract: A multiband omnidirectional antenna which includes a grounded face and an antenna element situated parallel to the grounded face, the antenna element having a first planar emitter, which has a planar design and extends parallel to the grounded face, a second planar emitter, which surrounds the first planar emitter at a distance, and at least two connection elements for connecting the first and the second planar emitters to each other.

  • Planar broadband antenna
    Patent number: 7847751
    Abstract: A planar broadband antenna includes a flat elliptical antenna device. The elliptical antenna device includes a central antenna element, a first angular antenna element and a second angular antenna element. The central antenna element is disposed parallel to a support. The angular antenna elements are formed by two opposite segments of the elliptical antenna device and point toward the support. The first angular antenna element is provided with a base point through which a signal is capable of being fed in. An impedance device connects the second angular antenna element to a ground point located near the base point.
