Abstract: A modular radio-antenna device comprising first and second separable modules, the first module containing all radio and radio-frequency front-end components of the device, and the second module containing only antenna components of the device, the first and second modules being provided with means for physical and electrical interconnection with each other.

Abstract: There is disclosed an antenna device comprising a pair of physically and electrically symmetrical radiating elements configured for cooperative operation as a balanced antenna, and a third radiating element configured for operation as an unbalanced antenna The balanced antenna may be configured for operation in a first frequency band, and the unbalanced antenna may be configured for operation in a second frequency band Embodiments of the disclosed antenna device provide multiband operation close to a conductive groundplane and are strongly resistant to detuning.

Abstract: There is disclosed an antenna device comprising an elongate dielectric radiating element having a longitudinal axis and a feeding mechanism for generating displacement currents in the dielectric radiating element. The radiating element is configured to support displacement current resonance modes parallel to the longitudinal axis but to inhibit displacement current resonance modes transverse to the longitudinal axis.
