  • Patent number: 10243265
    Abstract: An antenna array (106) which in use emits radiation in two respectively orthogonally polarised directions, the array including a plurality of elements, the elements including at least one element of a first type and at least four elements of a second type wherein the element of the first type comprises part of two balanced feeds with two elements of the second type and the element of the first type is capacitively coupled to two further elements of the second type, wherein the elements used to produce radiation in a first direction lie in a first plane (104), the elements used to produce radiation in a second direction lie in a second plane (102), and the first and second planes are spaced apart, and the element of the first type includes two portions, one of which lies in the first plane and one of which lies in the second plane.

  • Publication number: 20180219301
    Abstract: The invention provides an antenna array including an array of unit cells, each unit cell including two annular elements of a first type and two annular elements of a second type wherein in each unit cell: the elements of the first type comprise a balanced feed to produce radiation in a first polarisation direction, the elements of the second type comprise a balanced feed to produce radiation in a second polarisation direction, and each element of the first type is capacitively coupled to a further element of the first type located in an adjacent unit cell, and each element of the second type is capacitively coupled to a further element of the second type located in an adjacent unit cell.
