Abstract
A self-grounded bowtie antenna arrangement includes an antenna structure having a number of antenna petals. An antenna petal has an arm section tapering toward an end tip portion and is made of an electrically conductive material. End tip portions are arranged to approach a first side of a base portion and to connect to feeding ports. The base portion includes a conductive ground plane or a printed circuit board. Each antenna petal is made in one piece from a conductive sheet, such as metal, and is surface-mounted on either the front side or back side of the base portion. Antenna petals can be mounted by automatic placement and soldering (“pick-and-place”) machines.
