Abstract
An antenna assembly includes a ground plane and an element coupled to the ground plane. The element has a center point, a first element portion extending away from the center point on a first side of the center point for a first distance in a first direction, bending at a first approximately 180 degree bend, extending towards the center point for a second distance in a second direction, bending at a second approximately 180 degree bend, and extending away from the center point for a third distance in the first direction. The element also has a second element portion provided on a second side of the center point opposite the first element portion on the first side of the center point, the second element portion being substantially a mirror image of the first element portion. The element also includes a ground leg located on the first side of the center point a first distance from the center point, extending substantially perpendicular to the first and second element portions, and coupling the element to the ground plane and a feed leg located on the second side of the center point a second distance from the center point, the feed leg extending substantially parallel to the ground leg.
