BROADBAND POLARIZATION DIVERSITY ANTENNAS
First Claim
1. An antenna comprising:
- a baseboard with a baseboard-feed line that includes a serpentine meander-line portion; and
an antenna-array board with two or more antenna elements arranged in a series, the antenna-array board attached to the baseboard with the serpentine meander-line portion located between an edge of the antenna-array board and the baseboard and each antenna element to connect to the serpentine meander-line portion via an antenna-feed line located on the antenna-array board.

Abstract
This disclosure is directed to broadband polarization diversity antennas. In one aspect, a polarization diversity antenna includes a baseboard with a baseboard-feed line located on a first surface. The baseboard-feed line includes a serpentine meander-line portion. The antenna also includes an antenna-array board with two or more antenna elements arranged in a series. The antenna-array board is attached to the first surface with the serpentine meander-line portion located between an edge of the antenna-array board and the baseboard. Each antenna element is connected to the serpentine meander-line portion via an antenna-feed line located on the antenna-array board. The antenna array provides two dimensional polarization broadcasting and receiving of electromagnetic radiation. In another aspect, a notch antenna is formed on an opposing second surface of the baseboard opposite the antenna-array board in order to provide three-dimensional polarization broadcasting and receiver of electromagnetic radiation.
