CANISTER ANTENNA PRODUCING A PSEUDO-OMNI RADIATION PATTERN FOR MITIGATING PASSIVE INTERMODULATION (PIM)

摘要

A canister antenna including a radar transparent housing disposed about an axis and enclosing an antenna assembly having a plurality of integrated radiating elements. The radiating elements are configured to: (ii) produce a pseudo-omnidirectional radiation pattern of RF energy about the axis and (ii) selectively orient at least one null along a radial of the axis.

1. A canister antenna, comprising:
a housing having an internal cavity defining an axis; and an antenna assembly disposed internally of the cavity of the housing and having at least two radiating elements operatively coupled together, the radiating elements configured to: (i) produce a pseudo-omnidirectional radiation pattern of RF energy and (ii) selectively orient at least one null along a radial of the axis.
