Patent ID: 7391385

Claim:
An antenna array comprising: vertical support having a top; a horizontal upper beam attached to said vertical support and residing proximal to said top; an upper antenna supported by said upper beam, said upper antenna comprising: an upper driven dipole element; and an upper directing element horizontally spaced apart approximately one eighth wavelength from said upper driven dipole element and approximately parallel to said upper driven dipole element; a horizontal lower beam attached to the said vertical support and vertically spaced apart below said upper beam; a lower antenna supported by said lower beam, said lower antenna comprising: a lower driven dipole element; and a lower directing element horizontally spaced apart approximately one eighth wavelength from said lower driven dipole element and approximately parallel to said lower driven dipole element; a first feed line electrically connecting said upper driven dipole element to said lower driven dipole element; and a second feed line electrically connecting said lower driven dipole element to a transmitter and a receiver.
