    Abstract: An antenna system for providing identification functionality comprising a main antenna and an auxiliary antenna, wherein the antennas are configured to at least transmit electromagnetic waves. The antenna system comprises a first channel interface and a second channel interface, a first switch and a transmission input means. The first switch is configured to switch between a first operation mode and a second operation mode. When set in the first operation mode the second channel interface is set to be in connection with the auxiliary antenna and when set in the second operation mode the second channel interface is set to be in connection with the main antenna. If transmission via the first transmission channel is expected the transmission input means is configured to set the first switch in the first operation mode. Thereby the main antenna can be used for transmission of signals both provided via the first and second channel interfaces and when transmission via the first and second channel interfaces simultaneously is required the signal provided via the first channel interface will be transmitted by the main antenna and the signal provided via the second channel interface will be transmitted by the auxiliary antenna.

    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter concerns an antenna which comprises a ground plane and at least a first and a second antenna element. Each antenna element comprises a feed point, a cavity, a main body, a tip and at least a first tapered portion and a second tapered portion. Each antenna element is arranged on the ground plane, where said first and second tapered portions extend along the antenna element from said tip towards the ground plane of the antenna element, and where each antenna element extends essentially perpendicularly to said ground plane along a centre axis of the antenna element. Each antenna element has at least a first leg and a second leg, where said first leg extends from said main body to the first feed point, where said feed point is located between the first leg and the ground plane, and where said second leg extends from said main body to the ground plane, and where said second leg is electrically connected to the ground plane.
