Systems relating to antennas. Antenna elements are coupled to adjacent other antenna elements by way of a coupler. The coupled antenna elements may be part of the same antenna array. The coupler may take the form of a substrate with conductive traces and the antenna elements may be dipoles or crossed dipole antennas. The coupled antenna elements may have similar polarizations. The capacitive coupling allows for physically smaller reflectors for antenna arrays.

Antenna array with coupled antenna elements

A dipole antenna is disclosed herein. The dipole antenna may include, but is not limited to, a first transmission line configured to receive a radio frequency signal from a first feed, a first balun galvanically coupled to the first transmission line, a first conductive strip galvanically coupled to the first transmission line and the first balun, a second conductive strip galvanically coupled to the first transmission line and the first balun, a first dipole arm, and a second dipole arm, wherein the first balun and the first transmission line are only capacitively coupled to the first and second dipole arms via the first and second conductive strips.
