Abstract:
1. A symmetrical printed meander dipole antenna, comprising: a dielectric board including a ground plane; a first antenna trace line disposed on a first portion of the dielectric board and in electrical contact with the dielectric board, the first antenna trace line comprising: a second antenna trace line disposed on a second portion of the dielectric board and in electrical contact with the dielectric board, the second antenna trace line comprising: an inductor in contact with the first and second antenna trace lines; a first plurality of asymmetrical edge meandered antenna trace lines in contact with the first antenna trace line and a second plurality of asymmetrical edge meandered antenna trace lines in contact with the second antenna trace line, the inductor and first and second edge meandered antenna trace lines for tuning the impedance of the symmetrical printed meander dipole antenna; and a resistor in electrical contact with a combined output of the first antenna trace line and the second antenna trace line for providing frequency bandwidth.
