1. An antenna comprising:
- a base body made of a dielectric material, wherein said base body has a bottom surface and an opposed top surface;
a conductive layer of a conductive material on said bottom surface of said base body;
two dipole conductors that form a dipole on said top surface of said base body, wherein said dipole conductors are at least partially spiral shaped and have opposite directions; and
a balun having a feed conductor section and two ground conductor sections that are all substantially parallel, said balun to receive an unbalanced signal from a feed line, to transform said signal, and to provide said signal to said dipole conductors via said feed conductor section and said ground conductor sections.

Abstract
An antenna. A base body made of a dielectric material is provide, wherein the base body has a bottom surface and an opposed top surface. A conductive layer of a conductive material is provided on the bottom surface of the base body. Two dipole conductors are provided that form a dipole on the top surface of the base body, wherein the dipole conductors are at least partially spiral shaped and have opposite directions. A balun is provided that has a feed conductor section and two ground conductor sections that are all substantially parallel. The balun receives an unbalanced signal from a feed line, transforms this signal, and provides it to the dipole conductors via the feed and ground conductor sections.
