1. A folded dipole antenna for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals comprising:

  • a ground plane; and

    a conductor extending adjacent the ground plane and spaced therefrom by a dielectric, the conductor including three sections, a feed section, a radiator input section, and at least one radiating section integrally formed with the radiator input section and the feed section, the radiating section including first and second ends, a fed dipole and a passive dipole, the fed dipole being connected to the radiator input section, the passive dipole being disposed in spaced relation to the fed dipole to form a gap, the passive dipole being shorted to the fed dipole at the first and second ends;

    wherein the radiator input section includes a first conductor section and a second conductor section separated by a second gap wherein the first conductor section is electrically connected to the ground plane by a fastener.
