Patent ID: 8179330

Claim:
An antenna comprising: a plurality of loops comprising a first loop, a second loop, and a third loop, wherein the first loop is substantially bisected by a common axis, the second loop is substantially bisected by the common axis and touches the first loop at an intersection point along the common axis, and the third loop is substantially bisected by the common axis and touches the first loop and the second loop at the intersection point along the common axis, wherein the first loop, the second loop, and the third loop are substantially equally spaced apart around the common axis, wherein the first loop, the second loop, and the third loop cross each other at a common feed point with longer axes of the first loop, the second loop, and the third loop arranged along a common central axis passing through the common feed point, wherein the second loop is positioned at a first angle to the first loop, the third loop is positioned at a second angle to the second loop, and the first loop is positioned at a third angle to the third loop, and wherein the crossed loop antenna containing the first loop, the second loop, and the third loop is to generate an omni-directional over a wideband of frequency.
