Cross dipole antenna element with flexible substrate and metallic plate
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230395995A1) discloses a cross dipole antenna element designed for use in antenna assemblies, particularly for aircraft applications. The antenna element includes a flexible substrate with two pairs of dipole arms, feed points at the center, a metallic plate serving as a ground plane, and a dielectric spacer. The dipole arms are coupled to the metallic plate at their distal ends, with slots in the plate ensuring proper connection. The design allows for circular polarization of the antenna pattern, with the metallic plate forming a secondary ground plane while the aircraft fuselage acts as the primary ground plane.
Furthermore, the patent application describes an antenna assembly incorporating the cross dipole antenna element, an antenna body for aircraft attachment, and a radome for protection. The assembly maintains the key features of the antenna element, including the flexible substrate, dipole arms, feed points, metallic plate, and dielectric spacer. The design ensures a circularly polarized antenna pattern, with the metallic plate creating a secondary ground plane and the aircraft fuselage serving as the primary ground plane. The feed points are arranged to be operably coupled to each other, enhancing the overall performance of the antenna assembly for reliable communication and navigation systems in aircraft.
