  • Patent number: 9680227
    Abstract: An antenna assembly having a pair of feed conductive elements directed in divergent directions, with each pair of conductive elements including a conical sheet conductor and a cylindrical sheet conductor, and radiating wire conductors extending away from each cylindrical sheet conductor. A balun feed system is defined between the pair of conical sheet conductors. A plurality of ferrite-cored inductors are provided on the wire conductors. A tubular radome assembly protects at least the radiating wire conductors from damage from external forces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2015

  • Patent number: 6693598
    Abstract: An omni-directional antenna assembly is provided for wireless communication devices requiring multiple polarization characteristics. A loop antenna assembly for a communications device operating at a predetermined wavelength and having a transceiver circuit including a signal output and a ground plane, the antenna assembly including a conductive loop element and a conductive leg member coupled to the loop element proximate a loop perimeter, the leg member for supporting the loop element at a distance away from the ground plane of the communications device, the leg member also defining a ground point and a feed point for operatively coupling the loop element to the ground plane and the signal output, respectively, of the transceiver circuit.
