Patent ID: 8884822

Claim:
An antenna system comprising: an oblong planar circuit board having a top side, a bottom side and a longitudinal axis; a dielectric support having a first side and a second side, the dielectric support positioned on the top side of the oblong planar circuit board, with the first side of the dielectric support in contact with the top side of the oblong printed circuit board; a rectangular antenna patch positioned on the second side of the dielectric support wherein the rectangular antenna patch has a geometrical center and supports two orthogonal modes, and wherein the rectangular antenna patch is mounted off center with respect to the dielectric support, and wherein the rectangular antenna patch is oriented obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis at an angle between 40° and 50° with respect to the longitudinal axis; a feed pin connected to a location on the rectangular antenna patch offset from the geometrical center of the rectangular antenna patch and coupled to a trace on the bottom side of the oblong planar circuit board; and a main board that is adjacent to the oblong planar circuit board, is larger than the oblong planar circuit board and is conductively coupled to the oblong planar circuit board.
