Abstract
An antenna includes a first antenna element and a second antenna element. The first antenna element and the second antenna element are configured to transmit and receive signals in a first band of frequencies and in a second band of frequencies. A first pair of delay lines is coupled to the first antenna element and a second pair of delay lines coupled to the second antenna element. A first delay line in the first pair of delay lines and the second pair of delay lines is configured to phase shift electrical signals coupled to the first antenna element and the second antenna element such that a first impedance of the antenna is approximately equal in the first band of frequencies and the second band of frequencies. A second delay line in the first pair of delay lines and the second pair of delay lines is configured to convert the first impedance to a second impedance.
