PATCH DIPOLE ARRAY ANTENNA INCLUDING A FEED LINE ORGANIZER BODY AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

An antenna (10) includes a substrate (12) including a ground plane (26) and a dielectric layer (24) adjacent thereto and at least one antenna unit (13) carried by the substrate (12). The at least one antenna unit (13) may includ e a plurality of adjacent antenna elements (14, 16, 18 and 20) arranged in spaced apart relation from one another about a central feed position (22) on the dielectric layer (24) opposite the ground plane (26). The at least one antenna unit (13) may also include an antenna feed structure (30) including a respective coaxial feed line (32) for each antenna element (14, 16, 18 and 2 0) and a feed line organizer body (60) having passageways (61) therein for receiving respective coaxial feed lines (32).
