Patent ID: 8552918

Claim:
A multiband high gain omnidirectional antenna comprising: a first radiating element including at least two generally straight portions and at least one meandering portion generally between the at least two straight portions, and configured to produce a first radiation pattern at a first operating frequency; a second radiating element including at least two generally straight portions and at least one meandering portion generally between the at least two straight portions, and configured to produce a second radiation pattern at a second operating frequency; and a connecting element connected to at least one straight portion of each of the first and second radiating elements, thereby connecting the first radiating element and the second radiating element; the first and second radiating elements laterally spaced apart and extending generally perpendicular in a same direction from the connecting element; wherein: the antenna further comprises a printed circuit board, and wherein the first radiating element, the second radiating element, and the connecting element comprise at least one trace on the printed circuit board; and/or the meandering portion of the first radiating element includes nine bending points; and the meandering portion of the second radiating element includes five bending points.
