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 7):
A coincident phase centered (CPC) antenna comprising:\n a base; wherein the base comprises four bores that pass from a bottom surface of the base to a top surface of the base; a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed on the top surface of the base, the printed circuit board having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface rests on the top surface of the base; two horizontally polarized prongs extending upward from the 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 the base by feedthrough connections that extend from the top surface of the PCB to the bottom surface of the PCB, and a free end that is disposed proximate to the midline and electrically connected to a respective trace in the PCB; four feed ports disposed on the bottom surface of the base; and four electrical feeds that each pass through a respective bore and have a distal end that is electrically connected to the respective trace in the PCB and a proximal end that is electrically connected to a respective feed port.
