Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a dipole antenna having an hourglass shaped coupler. The antenna generally includes two conductive layers, each having a first portion and a second portion of conductive material. The first portion may be connected to a first trace in the first layer, and a width of the first portion flares out from a connection point to the first trace in a first direction. The second portion may be electrically isolated from the first trace and a width of the second portion flares out from a location closest to the first portion in a second direction. In certain embodiments, the second direction is opposite the first direction.
