  • Patent number: 9478867
    Abstract: A radiator element for RF communications formed of a planar conductive material positioned upon a planar dielectric substrate surface. Two lobes formed of the conductive material have side edges abutting a cavity decreasing in cross section between the lobes. The cavity has a widest point configured to receive RF frequencies at the lowest frequency and a narrowest point configured to receive a highest frequency of the element. Opposing pairs of notches in the side edges of the lobes along the decreasing edges of the cavity enhance the frequency of operation for frequencies paired to the distance between the pairs of notches.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160190702
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a multi-surface ground plane device for a wideband antenna which employs a frequency selective surface to optimize higher frequencies within the range of the wideband antenna and is especially well adapted for cellular communications for both data and voice but can be employed with any horn style wideband antenna.

  • Publication number: 20120200470
    Abstract: A radiator element for transmission and reception of RF communications formed of a planar conductive material positioned upon a planar dielectric substrate surface. Two lobes formed of the conductive material have side edges abutting a cavity decreasing in cross section between the lobes. The cavity has a widest point configured to receive RF frequencies at the lowest frequency and a narrowest point configured to receive a highest frequency of the element. The widest and narrowest point may be changed during manufacture to fit the frequency spectrum needed. Opposing pairs of recess cavities formed in the side edges of the lobes along the decreasing edges of the cavity enhance the frequency of operation for frequencies paired to the distance between the pairs of notches. Projections are employable along the side edges to optimize impedance.
