Abstract:
1. An antenna comprising: an antenna base; a connector pin extending from a top side and from a bottom side of the antenna base along a single, central vertical axis substantially perpendicular to the antenna base; a connector body mounted on an electrical body, the connector body extending along first and second vertical axes substantially parallel to the connector pin; and an RF choke mounted on the electrical body, the RF choke extending along third and fourth vertical axes substantially parallel to the connector body, wherein a first distance between the antenna base and a distal end of the connector pin is substantially equal to a second distance between the antenna base and distal ends of the connector body, wherein a third distance between the antenna base and distal ends of the RF choke is less than both the first and second distances, and wherein the connector body provides a current to excite a radiator and cause the radiator to emit a main radiation beam, the main radiation beam scatters into a plurality of scatter beams, and the RF choke prevents reflections of the scatter beams from interfering with the main radiation beam.
