Abstract: A modified folded dipole antenna (20) comprises a central feeder (23), first and second portions (38 and 40) coupled to the feeder. The first and second portions have first and second folded ends (42 and 44). The folded ends are in close proximity to each other and are electromagnetically coupled to each other. Thus, a modified folded dipole antenna is formed which receives and/or transmits radio signals in at orthogonal orientations.
