ANTENNAS

摘要

One aspect of the invention provides an antenna including: a dielectric substrate and a plurality of antenna elements positioned on a surface of the dielectric substrate. Each antenna element includes: a sector-shaped sheet of conductive material and a conductive feed line coupled to the sector-shape sheet of conductive material. Another aspect of the invention provides an antenna including: a dielectric substrate, a plurality of antenna elements positioned on a surface of the dielectric substrate at substantially uniform angular intervals along an arc, and a ground layer mounted to an opposite side of the dielectric substrate from the plurality of antenna elements. Each antenna element includes: a sector-shaped sheet of conductive material having a central angle between about 90° and about 180° and a conductive feed line coupled to the sector-shape sheet of conductive material.
