HIGH EFFICIENCY FEED NETWORK FOR ANTENNAS

摘要

This invention discloses a printed antenna comprising a dielectric substrate, dipole elements formed on a surface of the substrate, a matching network for coupling a driving point to the antenna elements, whereby common mode currents are minimized thereby minimizing the antenna performance degradation. In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, there is provided a printed circuit antenna comprising a first substrate having antenna elements formed thereon; a second substrate material having a feed network formed thereon and for coupling a feed to the antenna elements.
