Abstract:
An antenna assembly comprises a substrate, an impedance matching network, and a driven antenna element. The substrate includes an insulating layer and a first electrically conductive layer disposed on a top surface of the insulating layer. The impedance matching network includes a balun, a first resistor, and a second resistor. The balun converts unbalanced signals to balanced signals and vice-versa. The first and second resistors are electrically connected to the balun. The driven antenna element is formed from the first electrically conductive layer and disposed on the top surface of the insulating layer. The driven antenna element includes a body, a first arm, and a second arm with the first and second arms spaced apart from another, parallel to one another, and physically connected to opposing ends of the body. The first arm is electrically connected to the first resistor. The second arm is electrically connected to the second resistor.
