摘要:
A polarized antenna for sending and receiving polarized radio frequency signals is disclosed which includes a dipole and a reflector plate. The dipole is formed as a single part including the radiating arms and feeding structures, thereby requiring minimum assembly. This dipole can be formed by molding conventional materials, such as copper, aluminum, and plastic, which can then be plated. The feeding structure through which the cable passes features a slotted aperture. The impedance of the dipole is based on the width of these apertures and the size of the cable conductor. By having a single-body construction, the dipole of the present invention provides, good impedance, low intermodulation distortion, good port-to-port isolation, and good pattern purity.
