Abstract
Various examples are provided for fragmented aperture antennas. In one example, a fragmented aperture antenna includes a two-dimensional lattice of conducting elements, where positioning of the conducting elements in adjacent rows are offset based upon a fixed skew angle. In another example, a fragmented aperture antenna includes a two-dimensional lattice comprising a combination of first and second geometric conducting elements, where a second geometric conducting element provides a connection between adjacent sides of diagonally adjacent first geometric conducting elements. In another example, a fragmented aperture antenna includes a two-dimensional lattice of conducting elements having a single common non-rectangular shape, where the conducting elements interleave in a digitated fashion. Diagonally adjacent conducting elements overlap along a portion of adjacent edges of the diagonally adjacent conducting elements.
