Abstract: An antenna for use in a distributed antenna system is provided. The antenna includes: (a) a feeding circuit on a first side of a first dielectric defining an edge perpendicular to the first side, a coplanar waveguide comprising a signal feed and a signal return coplanar with and interfittedly apart from the signal feed; (b) a radiator circuit on a second side of a second dielectric, a monopole radiator and a radiator return being copolanar and spaced apart from each other, the first dielectric capacitively coupling the signal feed to the monopole radiator; and (c) an edge connection along the edge for electrically connecting the signal return to the radiator return. A cover encloses the feeding circuit, including its impedance matching, in a water-resistant enclosure. The antenna ceiling-mounts indoors, is coated with a fire-resistant coating, and is operable at VHF (132-174 MHz), UHF (350-520 MHz), and 698-960 MHz.

Abstract: The present invention provides a balanced dipole unit and a broadband omnidirectional collinear array antenna formed by the balanced dipole unit. Balanced dipole unit circuits in the balanced dipole unit are symmetrically distributed on two sides of a circuit carrier, and a feeder and a ground wire in the balanced dipole unit are also symmetrically distributed, so that the balanced dipole unit has a completely symmetrical structure. A principle of the symmetrical structure is the same as a differential design principle and a self-balancing principle in the circuit design, thereby reducing current coupling between the balanced dipole units and eliminating the need of using an additional choke circuit when a broadband omnidirectional collinear array antenna is formed by the balanced dipole unit.

Abstract: A collinear antenna assembly and a series-fed omnidirectional collinear antenna array are provided. The collinear antenna assembly includes a plurality of phase delayers connected in series, and an end portion of each phase delayer is connected to an antenna radiating unit; the phase delayer includes a circuit wire printed on a dielectric plate, two ends of the circuit wire are connected to the antenna radiating unit, a wire length, a wire width and a wire spacing of the circuit wire are set based on preset wiring rules, the wire lengths, the wire widths and the wire spacing of the circuit wires of the phase delayers set based on different preset wiring rules are different, so that a phase and an amplitude fed to each antenna radiating unit are accurately controlled.
