Patent attributes
A low visibility, field-diverse, dual band antenna provides cross-polarized fields enhancing signal communications. A generally flat, but helical, antenna is achieved in conjunction with a core substrate about which the antenna is wrapped, wound, or fixed. The core substrate, pitch or angle of the helix, and length of the transmitting antenna are chosen for a specific two (2) selected resonant frequency. A two-pole low-pass filter may be used to achieve dual band transmission. The passive components are specifically selected to achieve two (2) resonant frequencies PCS/Cellular 821–896 MHz and 1850–1990 MHz. The length and width of the helix are chosen in order to dimension the helical antenna between its linear and circular polarization modes to thereby deliver field-diverse and cross-polarized transmission modes.
