20130181878 | ANTENNA - A bowtie antenna is presented. The antenna includes a substrate with a metal layer. The bowtie-shaped dipole antenna is formed in the metal layer with two triangle elements and a gap between the two triangle elements. The bowtie-shaped antenna is shaped to receive signals in a lower portion of the UHF band. A pair of transmission lines is formed in the metal extending from the gap. At least one pair of tuning stubs is formed in the metal. The pair of tuning stubs extends from the transmission lines and is tuned to a frequency band that is different than the lower portion of the UHF band. | 07-18-2013 |
