A circularly polarized, multiband, and wideband antenna and can communicate with a GPS system. The antenna may include a driving element, first, second and third conductive parasitic elements electrically connected to the driving element, and a ground plane. The parasitic elements are provided with different lengths to provide for wider band operation with multiple resonant frequencies. The radiated wave has a low angle of propagation and travels for at least 1-2 miles.

Multiband circular polarized antenna arrangement

A trident antenna arrangement () is described. The antenna arrangement includes a driving element (), a first parasitic element (), a second parasitic element (), a feed point (), and a ground plate () disposed on a substrate (). The parasitic elements have different lengths which causes a dual resonance. Operation of the driving element and parasitic elements over the substrate and the ground plate allows the antenna system to be minimally impacted by the conductive material underneath. The antenna arrangement is used to transmit water meter () readings from a remote location to a utility.
