Abstract:
In a first aspect of the present disclosure, an antenna includes: a ground plane; a central support extending from the ground plane, the central support having two feeding probes, each of the feeding probes having a first part and a second part, each of the first part and the second part being separated from one another and from the first and second parts of the other feeding probe; and four radiating arms, one radiating arm extending from each of the first and second parts of each feeding probe, wherein at least a portion of at least two of the radiating arms extends in directions different from orientations of their respective parts of the feeding probes. In a second aspect, an antenna array includes: a plurality of antennas disposed in an array on a common ground plane, wherein each of the antennas comprises: a central support extending from the common ground plane, the central support having two feeding probes, each of the feeding probes having a first part and a second part, each of the first part and the second part being separated from one another and from the first and second parts of the other feeding probe; and four radiating arms, one radiating arm extending from each of the first and second parts of each feeding probe, wherein at least a portion of at least two of the radiating arms extends in directions different from orientations of their respective parts of the feeding probes.
