Abstract
The present invention relates to radio communications antennas. A wide band omnidirectional dipole antenna is described comprising a dipole antenna having first and second quarter wavelength dipole arms, a transmission line from input termination point having a ground and a central conductor; wherein the central conductor is connected to a centrally located feed point on the first dipole arm by the transmission line and the second dipole arm is connected to ground and acts as a ground plane for the transmission line. The present invention can be deployed in fixed and mobile wireless terminals and associated therewith. The antenna design can provide a cost effective solution to many applications.
