Patent attributes
An antenna system includes: a first patch antenna element that is electrically conductive; a first energy coupler configured to convey first energy to, or receive the first energy from, the first patch antenna element, the first energy being in a first frequency band; a second patch antenna element at least partially overlapping the first patch antenna element, the second patch antenna element comprising a plurality of physically separate portions that are each electrically conductive; and a second energy coupler connected to a first subset of the plurality of physically separate portions, the first subset comprising less than all of the plurality of physically separate portions, the second energy coupler configured to convey second energy to, or receive the second energy from, the first subset, the second energy being in a second frequency band that is higher than the first frequency band.
