Abstract
A spacing member is positioned between a pair of antenna members. The two antenna members may be horizontally polarized or vertically polarized and positioned next to each other to provide an increased gain. The spacing element may be placed between the antenna members and have a thickness corresponding to the characteristic impedance of the antenna transmission line. The characteristic impedance may be determined based on the width of the transmission line. The spacing member may be radio-frequency (RF) transparent and may adhere to either or both of the antenna elements. The spacing member may be implemented as a plastic double sided tape or a uniform piece of plastic having one or more adhesive layers.
