Coincident Phase-Centered Flared Notch Feed

Antennas are critical components in radio communication systems, enabling the transmission and receipt of radio waves. However, conventional antennas often face limitations in terms of their ability to handle multiple signals independently, restricting their versatility in complex communication environments. Such limitations can undermine the effectiveness and efficiency of these systems, driving the need for more adaptable antenna designs. Traditional approaches typically involve using multiple disconnected antennas to handle separate signals. This arrangement can lead to increased complexity, space inefficiency, and potential interference between signals. It also makes it more challenging to design and manage the overall system, thus creating a need for innovative antenna solutions.

Technology Description

The invention is a coincident phase-centered antenna with four prongs independently fed by unique conductors. Each conductor is connected with a connector or trace situated on the underside of the base or affiliated printed circuit board. The design enables the provision of independent signals to all four prongs in this antenna. Also, in some of the design versions, the prongs are installed on a metal base, while in others, they are fastened on a printed circuit board. The technology's differentiation lies in its capability to independently supply signals to each prong, enhancing the flexibility of use and application. The conductors can either be linked to a connector or trace on a metal base or a printed circuit board, offering a range of possible configurations. The high-volume, flexibility, and ease of use offer significant advantages over conventional antenna systems.
