Abstract:
1. A dual-band antenna comprising: a common antenna feedpoint; a conductive ground plane having a first leg and a second leg, wherein the first leg and the second leg are electrically connected at a single end thereof, each leg having an opposing inside edge that defines a non-conductive channel in the conductive ground plane; a first antenna element of the dual-band antenna having a general “J” shaped element extending away from the common antenna feedpoint at a distal end of the first leg of the conductive ground plane into the non-conductive channel, each portion of the “J” shaped element being substantially co-planar with one another and substantially coplanar with the conductive ground plane; and a second antenna element of the dual-band antenna having a general “h” shaped element extending away from the common antenna feedpoint at the distal end of the first leg of the conductive ground plane, each portion of the “h” shaped element being substantially co-planar with one another and disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to the conductive ground plane, and wherein the second antenna element further comprises:
