  • Broadband antenna having electrically isolated first and second antennas
    Patent number: 8395557
    Abstract: A broadband antenna includes a first antenna element having first and second ends spaced apart by a surface thereof. A second antenna element is substantially co-planar with the first antenna element, the second antenna element having first and second ends spaced apart by a surface thereof. The first end of the second antenna element is spaced apart from the second end of the first antenna element by a first air gap. A conductive structure is spaced apart from the first end of the first antenna element by a second air gap, the conductive structure being configured to provide for structural excitation of the antenna over a lower frequency range of an available broadband antenna bandwidth, such as may be a continuous operating bandwidth.
