    Abstract: Dual polarization in an antenna structure that results from a number of radiating elements arranged in a loop configuration. The antenna structure is excited by a single coaxial feedline in an interior portion of the antenna structure. The antenna structure may include a ground plane that enables a directional radiation pattern. The antenna structure may also be operational without a ground plane to enable an omnidirectional radiation pattern. The antenna structure may be configured in a number of loop configurations electrically connected to each other by a number of microstrip loops extending in a horizontal and vertical planar direction.

  • Publication number: 20100309070
    Abstract: A multiband single-strip monopole antenna includes a dielectric substrate, a ground plane, and a radiating portion. The ground plane is disposed on one surface of the dielectric substrate without completely covering the surface of the dielectric substrate. The radiating portion is disposed on the surface of the dielectric substrate without overlapping the ground plane, and is internally embedded with an inductive element, via which a continuous path through the inductive element is formed between a start point and an open end of the radiating portion. Since the inductive element can compensate for an increased capacitive reactance caused by a reduced antenna length, good antenna matching can still be achieved even when the size of the antenna is reduced.
