Patent ID: 8830131

Claim:
An integrated antenna assembly, comprising: a coupler, the coupler being configured for being connected to a first radio system and a second radio system, the first radio system being a vertical polarization system, the second radio system being a horizontal polarization system; a ground plane, the ground plane being configured for being connected to the coupler via a plurality of feed lines; a first antenna element, the first antenna element being configured for being connected to the ground plane, the first antenna element being a vertically-polarized antenna element; a common mode choke, the common mode choke being configured for being connected to the first antenna element; and a second antenna element, the second antenna element being configured for being connected to the common mode choke, the second antenna element being a horizontally-polarized antenna element, wherein the common mode choke is in physical contact with the first antenna element and the second antenna element, said common mode choke prevents transmission of common mode currents from the first antenna element to the second antenna element and allows transmission of differential mode currents from the first antenna element to the second antenna element.
