Patent abstract
A utility meter has an internal antenna for transmitting data. The antenna is positioned between the radome of the utility meter and its front surface. The antenna comprises dipole radiator that is generally curved to the shape of the meter housing. The dipole radiator comprises a dielectric substrate carrying two asymmetric curved radiating metallic sheets, each forming a portion of the dipole, which combined extend about 135° of the circumference of the utility meter. A balun feed is connected to the metallic sheets and a transmission line is coupled to a transmitter.
