Abstract:
1. A radiating element for a multi-band antenna, the radiating element comprising: a reflector oriented to lie within a reflector plane; a first pair of dipoles, each dipole of the first pair of dipoles having two collinear conductive arms, the dipoles of the first pair being oriented orthogonally relative to each other and to lie substantially within a first radiator plane; and a second pair of dipoles, electrically insulated from the first pair of dipoles, each dipole of the second pair of dipoles having two collinear conductive arms, the dipoles of the second pair being oriented orthogonally relative to each other and to lie substantially within a second radiator plane, wherein the reflector plane, first radiator plane and second radiator plane are substantially parallel to each other, wherein the first radiator plane lies between the reflector plane and the second radiator plane, wherein a conductive surface area of the conductive arms of the first pair of dipoles is larger than a conductive surface area of the conductive arms of the second pair of dipoles and wherein the conductive surface area of the conductive arms of the first pair serves as a reflector for the second pair of dipoles.
