  • Planar antenna device
    Patent number: 6407706
    Abstract: A planar antenna including a rectangular conductive element formed from two square elements. The square elements are defined within the rectangle by a centrally located and bifurcated return conductor having two legs. Each square element is connected at one end to a connector element and at the other end to the return conductor. The dimensions of the square elements are chosen so as to maximize gain for selected radio frequencies. The antenna further includes one or more additional but partial square elements, each additional partial square element terminating adjacent the respective square element at one end and being defined by one leg of the return conductor on one side.
