1. An antenna comprising:
- a conductive antenna body having first and second opposing ends with an enlarged width medial portion therebetween, a slot extending from at least adjacent the first end to at least adjacent the second end, and first antenna feed points adjacent the slot for a first polarization; and
a conductive antenna member adjacent the second end of said conductive antenna body and having a planar shape and a second antenna feed point for a second polarization.

Abstract
An antenna includes a conductive antenna body having first and second opposing ends with an enlarged width medial portion therebetween. A slot extends from at least adjacent the first end to at least adjacent the second end, and first antenna feed points are adjacent the slot for a first polarization. A conductive antenna member is adjacent the second end of the conductive antenna body and has a planar shape and a second antenna feed point for a second polarization.
