Integrated oscillator antenna for low power, low harmonic radiation
First Claim
1. In a radio transmitter of the type which includes an oscillator having a tank circuit and an inductor in the tank circuit serving as an antenna element and having first and second ends, first and second antenna inductors each having first and second ends with the first ends of the first and second antenna inductors respectively coupled to the first and second ends of the tank circuit inductor, the second ends of the first and second antenna inductors being connected to a respective antenna conductor with an open terminal end forming a center-fed dipole antenna.

Abstract
A low-power transmitter for garage door operator systems and the like wherein harmonics of the fundamental frequency are suppressed by class A or AB oscillator operation and fundamental radiation is enhanced by way of a combined inductor/radiator having conductive printed circuit extrusions on the ends thereof to effectively form a center-fed dipole antenna.
