  • Patent number: 10263345
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of multiport multiband vehicular antenna assemblies. In exemplary embodiments, a multiport multiband antenna assembly may include multiple ports (e.g., three, four, or five ports, etc.) with different combinations of antennas or radiators operable over various frequencies, such as one or more cellular frequencies (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE), etc.), internet frequencies (e.g., Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi ISM, etc.), satellite navigation frequencies (e.g., Global Positioning System (GPS), Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), etc.), and/or other frequencies. For example, a multiport multiband antenna assembly may include radiators or antennas operable with LTE, WI-FI, GPS (and/or with other cellular, internet, and/or satellite navigation frequencies) where the radiators or antennas are located and/or part of a single antenna system, e.g.

  • Publication number: 20170194701
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are provided of antennas and antenna systems including the same. In an exemplary embodiment, an antenna generally includes a substrate, a radiating element along the substrate, and a ground element along the substrate. The radiating element includes a high band radiating arm and a low band radiating arm. The antenna may further include one or more resistors for separately controlling peak gain for the high and low bands. Additionally, or alternatively, the antenna may include a ground plane arm along the substrate and a waveguide coplanar transmission line along the substrate for feeding the radiating element. The antenna may comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) dipole antenna. In another exemplary embodiment, an antenna system generally includes first and second PCB dipole antennas. Each PCB dipole antenna may include a high band radiating element or arm and a low band radiating element or arm.

  • Patent number: 9070966
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various exemplary embodiments of multi-band, wide-band antennas. In exemplary embodiments, the antenna generally includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion includes two or more upper radiating elements and one or more slots disposed between the two or more upper radiating elements. The lower portion includes three or more lower radiating elements and one or more slots disposed between the three or more lower radiating elements. A gap is between the upper and lower portions such that the upper radiating elements are separated and spaced apart from the lower radiating elements.
