Abstract:
1. An antenna which comprises: a primary folded dipole element; a feed for said primary folded dipole element; said primary folded dipole element being operable to resonate at a first frequency range; said primary folded dipole element being rectangular and including dipole extensions extending from said rectangle to provide a desired resonance; a first parasitic dipole element; said first parasitic dipole element being rectangular; said first parasitic dipole element being located within said primary folded dipole element and spaced therefrom; said first parasitic dipole element being operable to resonate at a frequency range higher than said first frequency range; said primary folded dipole element including dipole extensions extending from said rectangle to provide a desired resonance; said primary folded dipole element with said extensions and said first parasitic dipole element being formed of metal on a printed circuit board, said extensions having a distal end with said extensions increasing in width toward said distal end to provide a wider band width response.
