Abstract

Systems relating to antennas. Antenna elements are coupled to adjacent other antenna elements by way of a coupler. The coupled antenna elements may be part of the same antenna array. The coupler may take the form of a substrate with conductive traces and the antenna elements may be dipoles or crossed dipole antennas. The coupled antenna elements may have similar polarizations. The capacitive coupling allows for physically smaller reflectors for antenna arrays.
