Abstract: Competing tradeoffs of overall footprint, weight, and performance impact the design of antennas for many applications. However, those for compact portable devices or mobile platforms exploiting global navigation satellite systems these are further compounded by seeking good performance over a wide angular range. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide designers of a wide range of electrical devices and systems with compact broadband antennas which offer a low vertical profile relative to that provided by the common filar element approaches for high precision applications. Accordingly, through a combination of a dipole, a parasitic element, and additional ground elements to a convention ground plane the inventors provide broadband high performance antenna designs with low profile and low overall footprint.

Abstract: Single band and multiband wireless antennas are an important element of wireless systems. Competing tradeoffs of overall footprint, performance aspects such as impedance matching and cost require not only consideration but become significant when multiple antenna elements are employed within a single antenna such as to obtain circular polarization transmit and/or receive. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide designers of a wide range of electrical devices and systems with compact single or multiple frequency band antennas which, in addition to providing the controlled radiation pattern and circular polarization purity (where required) are impedance matched without substantially increasing the footprint of the antenna and/or the complexity of the microwave/RF circuit interfaced to them, whilst supporting multiple signals to/from multiple antenna elements in antennas employing them.
