Abstract

A folded crossed grid dipole antenna element includes one or more partially or fully conductive areas in the antenna element. The conductive areas are defined by a group of conductors of the antenna element. In a further configuration, upper and lower tiers of a conventional antenna element are essentially switched and a transmission feed line is provided to the upper tier via an opening in the lower tier.
