  • Patent number: 7079083
    Abstract: An antenna, in particular a mobile radio antenna, operates in at least two frequency bands. Two or more dipole antenna elements are provided and are arranged in front of a reflector, which transmit and receive in two different frequency bands. The distance between the antenna element structure, the antenna elements or the antenna element top of at least one dipole antenna element for the higher frequency band is at a distance from the reflector plane which corresponds to at least 75% and at most 150% of the distance between an antenna element structure. An antenna element or an antenna element top of at least one dipole antenna element for the lower frequency band and the reflector plane, and/or the distance between the antenna element structure, the antenna elements or the antenna element top of at least one dipole antenna element for the higher frequency band is at a distance from the reflector plane which is greater than 0.

  • Patent number: 6930650
    Abstract: An improved dual-polarized antenna arrangement has four antenna element devices each with a conductive structure between opposite antenna element ends. Those antenna element ends of two adjacent antenna element devices adjacent to one another are, in each case, isolated from one another for radio frequency purposes. Those antenna element ends of two adjacent antenna element devices located adjacent to one another in pairs form feed points, and the antenna element devices are fed at least approximately in phase and approximately symmetrically between the respective opposite feed points.
