  • Publication number: 20230261387
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to multiband antenna apparatuses. An example multiband antenna apparatus includes a first dipole radiating element, a second radiating element, and a metasurface superstrate (MSS) structure. The first dipole radiating element may be configured to operate at a first frequency band and arranged on an upper plane of a support structure in a first distance to a reflector plate.

  • Publication number: 20230223709
    Abstract: An antenna device comprising a base plate, a first radiator, a first balun and a second radiator. The base plate having a substantially planar shape. The first radiator is configured to radiate a first electromagnetic signal in a first frequency band. The first balun extends along a first axis between the base plate and the first radiator. The first axis is oriented perpendicular to the base plate and the first radiator. The first balun is arranged in order to support the first radiator. The second radiator is configured to radiate a second electromagnetic signal in a second frequency band. The second radiator includes one or more planar structures extending along the first axis and arranged between the base plate and the first radiator. The first and the second radiator operate in different frequency bands without any interference to form a compact multiband antenna device.
