  • Patent number: 11058487
    Abstract: An antenna system is provided that includes a coaxial cable, an antenna, a reflector wall, and a slot wall. The reflector wall is formed of a conductive material connected to a conductive shield to extend in an axial direction, is separated from an antenna conductor by a second dielectric material in a radial direction relative to the antenna conductor, and partially surrounds the antenna conductor in the radial direction from a first angle to a second angle when projected into a radial plane. The slot wall is formed through a portion of the conductive shield to expose a dielectric material from a third angle to a fourth angle when projected into the radial plane, is formed on a first side relative to a base. The first angle, the second angle, the third angle, and the fourth angle are defined relative to a common axis parallel to the radial plane.

  • Patent number: 10707581
    Abstract: An antenna includes a first dipole arm and a second dipole arm. The first dipole arm is connected to a first conductor and is formed of a first conducting material. The first dipole arm extends in an axial direction from the first conductor. The second dipole arm is connected to a second conductor that is distinct from the first conductor and is formed of a second conducting material. The second dipole arm extends in the axial direction from the second conductor and is wound around the first dipole arm to form a number of loops. The second dipole arm does not contact the first dipole arm. An axial length of the second dipole arm in the axial direction is less than 90% of an axial length of the first dipole arm in the axial direction.
