A polarization pattern diversity antenna is described that is easy to manufacture, has a compact planar shape and radiates a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern in the horizontal plane. Two feed points each one attached toa copper patch, are operated in phase and 180° out of phase to separately receive or transmit two different components of a signal. The copper patches are arranged symmetrically on one side of a dielectric layer in such a way as to reduce the r.f coupling between the two modes of operation and thus increase the radiation efficiency and isolate the overall input/output ports for the different signal components. The ground plane situated on the underside of …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 30, 1993 and granted June 23, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 30, 2013.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
