Abstract: A method for reducing a quantity of cable runs to antennas can include the step of providing a circuit of reactive elements coupled between an input terminal and at least two output terminals. The circuit can be used to separate a broadband signal into two or more disjoint expected frequency ranges. The circuit can match the impedance at the at least two output terminals to the impedance expected by the antennas. The elements of the circuit can have reactances and arrangement so that when a broadband RF signal is applied at the input terminal, two or more disjoint expected frequencies can be applied to the respective output terminals. The power at each output terminal can sufficiently match the antennas' expected power, and insertion losses can be minimized.

Abstract: A dual feed slot antenna can include a ground plane formed with an aperture, and first feed and second feeds extending into the aperture. The first feed and second feed can extend into the aperture so that the first feed and second feed are coincident and out of phase with other. The first feed and said second feed can define a U-shaped stub, with a respective stub length, a stub width, a crossbar and a pair of stub tines defining a stub separation extending from the crossbar. The first feed and second feed can extend into the aperture so that each of the stub tines from a first feed are coincident the stub tines from the second feed. With this configuration, and with further selection of the said respective stub lengths, stub widths and stub separations, a symmetric omnidirectional radiation can be established for the antenna.
