  • Patent number: 11973282
    Abstract: Disclosed is a midband dipole for use in a multiband antenna.

  • Patent number: 11855359
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high performance low cost multiband antenna configuration that has a low band dipole having dipole arms formed of stamped sheet metal with a plurality of inductor structures. The plurality of inductor structures are oriented along a longitudinal axis of the low band dipole arm, and others are oriented orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The plurality of the inductor structures act as cloaking structures that make the low band dipole substantially transparent to high band RF energy without inhibiting the performance of the dipole in the low band.

  • Patent number: 11817629
    Abstract: Disclosed is a decoupling dipole structure that renders a midband dipole effectively transparent to a nearby lowband dipole. This not only improves the beam quality in the lowband without sacrificing beam quality in the midband, it also enables different lowband dipoles to be employed to customize the lowband performance of the multiband antenna without requiring a redesign of the midband dipoles or of the array face.
