Frequency-notching antenna
First Claim
1. An antenna, comprising:
- a first ground element;
a first driven element formed from a planar piece of conductive material, the first driven element being configured to transmit and receive wireless signals, the first driven element including a physical slot;
a conductive line formed in the physical slot such that the conductive line is separated from the first driven element by a gap filled with non-conductive material, the conductive line having a line impedance that is a function of an effective line width of the conductive line, and an effective gap width of a gap between the conductive line and the first driven element; and
a signal line configured to send and receive signals to and from the conductive line.
