Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radially segmented antenna design is described. In an embodiment, the radially segmented antenna is formed from multiple patches which are arranged in a ring around the central point of the radially segmented antenna. Each patch is shaped to form a segment of the ring and is separated from the two adjacent patches. In operation, alternate patches in the ring may be used for transmitting and the remaining patches may be terminated in an open circuit or may be used for receiving. Alternatively, all the patches in the ring may be used for transmitting or receiving. In some examples, there may be more than one concentric ring of patches within the radially segmented antenna and the additional rings may be located on the same face of the antenna as the first ring of patches, or on the opposite face of the antenna.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A radially segmented antenna comprising a first plurality of patches arranged in a ring around a central point and wherein each patch forms a segment of the ring and is spaced from two adjacent patches in the ring, wherein, in use, alternate patches are arranged to transmit signals and non-transmitting patches are terminated into an open circuit. 2. A radially segmented antenna according to claim 1 , further comprising a central circular…
