Abstract

The invention relates to a dipole type wideband antenna comprising a substrate presenting two faces, a first conductive arm, a second conductive arm placed on the substrate, a feeder line supplying the second arm passing under the first arm, In this case, the feeder line extending by a line element placed under the second arm, this element being dimensioned to filter a given frequency.

Claims

1. A wideband dipole type antenna comprising a substrate presenting first and second faces, a first conductor arm and a second conductor arm placed on the first face of the substrate, a feeder line supplying the first and second conductor arms by electromagnetic coupling, the feeder line extending from a transition point to a feed circuit by passing under the first conductor arm, wherein the antenna includes a filtering means formed by a line element that extends the feeder line beyond the transition point between the first conductor arm and the second conductor arm and is placed under the second conductor arm, the line element having a length of λ

g/2 where λ

g is a wavelength guided in the line element for a frequency band to reject.

2. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein the first conductor arm is comprised of two conductive elements of identical geometry placed opposite each other on the first and second faces of the substrate.

3. The antenna according to claim 2, wherein the feeder line is placed between the two conductive elements forming a stripline structure.

4. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein the second conductor arm is comprised of two conductive elements of identical geometry placed opposite each other on the first and second faces of the substrate.

5. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein the first and second conductor arms are each constituted by two conductive elements placed opposite each other on the first and second faces of the substrate, and the two conductive elements are connected by holes made to pass through the substrate and filled with conductive material.

6. The antenna according to claim 5, wherein the holes are made on the conductive elements periphery.

7. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein the feeder line is realized by a microstrip line passing below the first conductor arm comprised of a sole conductor element realized on the first face of the substrate, the microstrip line being realized on the second face of the substrate.

8. The antenna according to claim 7, wherein the second conductor arm is formed from a single conductive element realized on the first face of the substrate.
