Patent ID: 10680339

Abstract:
Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of antennas that may be configured to be low profile, omnidirectional, ceiling mountable, and/or multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). In an exemplary embodiment, an antenna generally includes first and second radiators and a ground plane. First and second edge portions of the ground plane may configured to be operable for reducing null at azimuth plane to thereby allow the antenna to have more omnidirectional radiation patterns for the azimuth plane. The antenna may be configured to have an asymmetrical perpendicular dipole configuration. A neutral line may be spaced apart from and proximity coupled to the ground plane. The ground plane may comprise first and second ground plane extension arms and/or a slant cutout defined between spaced-apart first and second lower portions of the ground plane. The ground plane may include a bridge portion extending between the spaced-apart first and second lower portions of the ground plane.
