Abstract: An antenna assembly and method are disclosed. The antenna assembly comprises: a printed circuit board assembly having a radiating element layer and a choke structure, the choke structure having a central conductor and a shielding structure, wherein the central conductor comprises at least a portion of the radiating element layer. By providing a printed circuit board assembly having a radiating element layer and a choke structure which utilises a portion of the radiating element layer, the manufacture of the radiating elements is simplified.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is an antenna system comprising at least one first antenna and at least one second antenna, each comprising spaced-apart radiating elements aligned along the longitudinal axis of the antenna, the second antenna being disposed a short distance away from, and parallel to, the first antenna, characterized in that the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis passing through a radiating element of the first antenna is displaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis with respect to the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis passing through the radiating element of the second antenna which is closest to it.

Abstract: A crossed polarization antenna system including a substantially flat and rectangular reflector and at least one radiating cell carried by the reflector, each cell including at least two first conductor elements assembled tail-to-tail and energized by a first external power supply forming a first dipole. Each radiating cell includes two second conductor elements mounted in exactly the same way as the first elements and energized by a second external power supply forming a second dipole. The conductor elements are V-shape bent elements with the second elements mounted orthogonally to the first elements. Applications include mobile telephones.
