Antenna assembly providing a global multi-directional radiation pattern

摘要

An antenna assembly having a characteristic frequency band includes an antenna feed, operatively connected to one of a radio frequency (RF) transmitter, an RF receiver, and an RF transceiver system, and a ground component. A first set of conductive elements, including either or both of linear, bent linear, and curvilinear elements, is operatively connected to the antenna feed. A second set of conductive elements, including either or both of linear, bent linear, and curvilinear elements, is operatively connected to the ground component. Each of the first set of linear conductive elements and the second set of linear conductive elements are configured as to provide substantially equal sensitivity within the characteristic frequency band across all elevation and azimuth angles.

1. An antenna assembly having a characteristic frequency band, comprising:
an antenna feed, operatively connected to one of a radio frequency (RF) transmitter, an RF receiver, and an RF transceiver system; a ground component; a first set of conductive elements, comprising at least one of linear, bent linear, and curvilinear elements, and operatively connected to the antenna feed; and a second set of conductive elements, comprising at least one of linear, bent linear, and curvilinear elements, operatively connected to the ground component; wherein each element of the first set of conductive elements is aligned in a direction substantially perpendicular to a corresponding element of the second set of conductive elements, such that the first set of conductive elements and the second set of conductive elements are configured as to provide substantially equal sensitivity within the characteristic frequency band across all elevation and azimuth angles.
