  • Method, system and apparatus for an antenna
    Patent number: 7271779
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a microstrip-coupled dipole antenna. A microstrip of the antenna may be formed on top of a printed circuit board (PCB) and coupled to a transmission line such that the microstrip is operable to transfer electromagnetic energy fed to it by the transmission line to a dipole structure on the bottom of the PCB that, in turn, radiates a broadband electromagnetic signal.
