BLADE ANTENNA AND WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK COMPRISING A BLADE ANTENNA

摘要

Blade antenna suitable for use in a wireless local area network, comprising at least one blade antenna unit and preferably two blade antenna units wherein each unit comprises: - a ground plane, - a first blade structure which is mounted substantially perpendicular onto the ground plane, wherein the ground plane and first blade structure are at least partially made of an electrically conductive material and are electrically insulated from each other, thereby forming a blade antenna, - a body of dielectric material in which the blade structure at least partially is embedded and which functions as a lens structure for electromagnetic waves received or transmitted by the blade antenna.
