Abstract
An antenna system embodiment of the present invention comprises a curved dipole antenna stood off at its center by a printed circuit board assembly containing a pre-amplifier. The curved dipole antenna is implemented with a single-sided flexible circuit and is anchored at its four free ends to a sheet metal base for a groundplane. The printed circuit board assembly containing the predetermined amplifier is fixed perpendicular to the sheet metal base and has a tab that engages a slot in the center of the single-sided flexible circuit for electrical connection of a pair of orthogonal dipoles patterned on one side of the flexible circuit.
