Patent ID: 8686912

Claim:
A folded dipole antenna capable of transmitting and receiving signals from CDMA 450 system, the folded dipole antenna comprising: a folded dipole Printed Circuit Board (PCB) having conducting strips defined on each side of the folder dipole PCB forming an excitation arm and a grounding arm of the antenna, both excitation arm and the grounding arm are adapted with symmetric a conducting strip configuration, wherein the conducting strip on each side of the PCB comprising an m-shaped conducting strip having a center conducting leg, and two symmetrically configured folded arms, wherein the center conducting leg is thinner in width than the two folded arms; a plastic holder whereby the folded dipole PCB is placed through; a base plate whereby the folded dipole PCB is mounted perpendicularly onto the base plate through the plastic holder; and a coaxial cable having a center core extended through the folded dipole PCB to connect with the excitation arm at one end, and a metal shield soldered along the center conducting leg of the ground arm, wherein the other end of the coaxial cable is extending through the base plate with a connector.
