Abstract:
A coincident phase centered antenna and a mechanism for feeding electrical signals to the antenna is disclosed. Each of the four prongs is fed by a respective conductor. Each respective conductor is in electrical communication with a connector or trace located on the bottom surface of the base or supporting printed circuit board. This configuration allows independent signals to be supplied to each of the four prongs in the coincident phase centered antenna. In some embodiments, the prongs are mounted on a metal base. In other embodiments, the prongs are mounted on a printed circuit board.

Claim (Index 12):
A coincident phase centered (CPC) antenna comprising:\n a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB); two horizontally polarized prongs extending upward from a top surface of the PCB and defining a first vertical gap therebetween; two vertically polarized prongs extending upward from the top surface of the PCB and defining a second vertical gap therebetween, wherein a midline of the first vertical gap is coincident with the midline of the second vertical gap; wherein each prong has a supported end that is mechanically connected to the top surface of the PCB and electrically connected to ground by feedthrough connections and a free end that is disposed proximate to the midline and electrically connected to a respective trace in the PCB; wherein each respective trace extends to a bottom layer of the PCB.
