Abstract:
1. An apparatus that facilitates wireless communications, comprising: an antenna that receives or transmits multiple frequency bands of radio communication signals via dual transceiver microstrips having dipoles electrically coupled thereto, the dual transceiver microstrips affixed to respective sides of a common substrate within the antenna, wherein the dipoles are attached to both sides of the respective microstrips and arranged asymmetrically along a longitudinal axis of the respective microstrips, the antenna comprising: a first microstrip for transmitting or receiving a first frequency band; a second microstrip for transmitting or receiving a second frequency band; at least one first component of a first type dipole element electrically coupled to a first side of the first microstrip; at least one first component of a second type dipole element electrically coupled to the first side of the first microstrip; at least one second component of the first type dipole element electrically coupled to a first side of the second microstrip; and at least one second component of the second type dipole element electrically coupled to the first side of the second microstrip; wherein the first and second components of the first type dipole elements are arranged to form a first dipole that transmits or receives the first frequency band when a radio frequency signal is applied to the first and second microstrips or is received over the air; and the first and second components of the second type dipole elements are arranged to form a second dipole that transmits or receives the second frequency band when a radio frequency signal is applied to the first and second microstrips or is received over the air.
