OMNIDIRECTIONAL BROADBAND ANTENNAS INCLUDING CAPACITIVELY GROUNDED CABLE BRACKETS

摘要

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of omnidirectional broadband antennas and capacitively grounded cable brackets. In an exemplary embodiment, an omnidirectional broadband antenna generally includes a ground element, an antenna element, an annular element, and a cable bracket capacitively grounded to the ground element. The cable bracket is configured to allow soldering of a cable braid to the cable bracket for feeding the antenna element without direct galvanic contact between the cable braid and the ground element.
