ANTENNA WITH DIVERGING ANTENNA ELEMENTS.

摘要

An antenna 10 comprises at least a first pair 12 of elongate radiating elements and a second pair 14 of elongate radiating elements. Each pair comprises a first element 12.1 and a second element 12.2. Each element has a feed end 12.11 and a distal end 12.12. The first and second elements of each of the at least first pair and second pair have their respective feed ends 12.1 1, 12.21 in juxtaposition relative to one another and extend in diverging relationship relative to one another in a direction from their feed ends towards their distal ends. The at least first and second pairs are electrically connected in parallel. In some embodiments the elements may diverge exponentially. The invention also relates to antennas which may be packaged in at least partially knock-down form to be assembled or deployed conveniently at a user site.
