Abstract
A dual band antenna structure for transmission electromagnetic energy in two frequency bands. The antenna structure has a substrate with a first side having a first dipole radiating element and a second dipole radiating element. The lengths of the dipole radiating elements are chosen to transmit the first and second frequencies. The antenna structure further includes a first dipole ground disposed in substantially mirror-image relation to the first dipole radiating element and a second dipole ground disposed in substantially mirror-image relation to the second dipole radiating element. The first and second dipole radiating elements are electrically connected to a transformer formed on the first side of the substrate. Electromagnetic energy fed to the transformer in the first frequency band is transmitted by the first dipole radiating element while electromagnetic energy fed to the transformer in the second frequency band is transmitted by the second dipole radiating element.
