Abstract: A dual-band directional antenna for customer-premise equipment (CPE) applications is provided. The dual-band directional antenna includes at least one conductive radiating element, a probing structure connected to the radiating element, a conductive ground plane, and at least one mounting element for mounting the at least one radiating element on the ground plane at a distance therefrom. The antenna is configured to operate in two different frequency bands. The radiating element partially encloses at least one first cut-out portion and partially encloses at least one second cut-out portion, where the at least one first cut-out portion and the at least one second cut-out portion are positioned at opposite sides of a first slot of the radiating element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dual-band directional antenna, in particular for customer-premise equipment (CPE) applications. The invention also relates to a wireless device for customer-premise equipment (CPE) applications, such as a wireless access points (AP), a router, a gateway, and/or a bridge, comprising at least one antenna according to the invention. The invention additionally relates to a wireless communication system, comprising a plurality of antennas according to the invention, and, preferably, a plurality of wireless devices according to the invention.
