  • Patent number: 7777678
    Abstract: An assembly antenna array comprises a ground plate, a pair of first radiation conductors, a first transmission member, first support rods, a pair of second conductors, a second transmission member, and second support rods. The ground plate has an upper surface and a lower surface. The layout size of the assembly antenna array is reduced via arranging the arrayed first radiation conductors and the arrayed second radiation conductors vertically to each other. The mutual interference between the transmission members is inhibited via respectively arranging the transmission members and the feeding ends of the two pairs of radiation conductors on different surfaces. A feeder cable is connected to an appropriate position of each transmission member to enable each pair of radiation conductors to have a phase difference of 180 degrees, whereby cross-polarization is reduced, and the gain are increased.
