  • Patent number: 8928548
    Abstract: An antenna comprising a network of arrayed radiating elements, a first reflective means comprising a flat central part upon which are disposed the radiating elements and longitudinally folded edges on either side of the array of elements, and at least one second reflective means which is a choke reflector disposed outside of the space separating the radiating elements of the reflector's folded edge. The second reflective means is separated from the first reflective means by a layer of dielectric material in order to connect it to the first reflective means by way of capacitive coupling.

  • Publication number: 20130271336
    Abstract: The dual polarised radiating element comprises four dipoles each comprising one stand and two arms. A first arm and a second arm belonging to two adjacent dipoles, form a straight radiating strand composed of a single part and the four radiating strands are arranged so as to form a disjoint square at the corners. The antenna comprises at least one first radiating element operating in a first frequency band and at least one second radiating element operating in a second frequency band and having at least one dipole that is arranged at the centre of the square formed by the radiating strands of the first radiating element, the radiating elements being arranged above a common reflector such that the transverse strands of the first radiating elements are located between two adjacent second radiating elements.

  • Publication number: 20120133567
    Abstract: The subject of this invention is a multiband antenna radiating element comprising a first pair of cross-polarization dipoles each of which comprises two collinear conducting arms, whereby the four conducting arms define a first radiating plane corresponding to a low frequency band. The radiating element also consists of at least a second pair of cross-polarization dipoles each of which comprises two collinear conducting arms, whereby the four conducting arms define a second radiating plan corresponding to a higher frequency band. The first and second radiating planes are parallel; the second radiating plane is positioned above the first from which it is electrically insulated and the surface of the first radiating plane covering the conducting arms of the first pair of dipoles is larger than the surface of the second radiating plane covering the conducting arms of the second pair of dipoles.

  • Publication number: 20110298682
    Abstract: A radiating element of a broadband antenna comprises a foot supporting first and second components disposed in a first plane which are two half-wavelength symmetrically fed dipoles generating a linear dual polarization, both comprising two arms. According to the invention, the radiating element further comprises at least one third component chosen from among a dipole or a patch disposed within a second plane placed above the first plane, and each of the components is made up of a volume fractal pattern.

  • Patent number: 6646611
    Abstract: A three-band antenna is disclosed, intended in particular for cellular telecommunications. The antenna includes radiating elements operating in three frequency bands. UMTS radiating elements are separated by an optimum distance of 0.95×&lgr;m, where &lgr;m represents the average wavelength of the UMTS frequency band. The positioning of the GSM and DCS radiating elements relative to the UMTS radiating elements is fixed so that each radiating element is similarly surrounded by other radiating elements and by partition walls. The structure is periodic along a longitudinal axis. In each module of the structure, a GSM radiating element is placed at the center of a quadrangle, two adjacent vertices of which are each occupied by a DCS radiating element and the other two vertices of which are each occupied by a UMTS radiating element.
