Abstract: A cross dipole antenna element may include a flexible substrate, a first pair of dipole arms disposed on the flexible substrate, a second pair of dipole arms disposed on the flexible substrate, a plurality of feed points disposed at a center portion of the flexible substrate and between the first and second pairs of dipole arms, a metallic plate forming a ground plane for the antenna element, and a dielectric spacer disposed between the center portion of the flexible substrate and the metallic plate. The first and second pairs of dipole arms may be operably coupled to the metallic plate at distal ends of the first and second pairs of dipole arms relative to the center portion.
