The invention discloses a slot antenna having a pair of orthogonally oriented front and rear reflector panels. In one embodiment, the antenna assembly includes first and second front panels oriented approximately orthogonally to each other, said first and second front panels being coupled together and having a substantially elongate slot defined upon at least a portion of each of the first and second front panels, and first and second rear reflector panels oriented approximately orthogonally to each other, and disposed proximate the first and second front panels, and a feed terminal coupled to one of the first or second front panels, said feed terminal being coupled to an input/output RF connection point. The slot antenna according to the present invention may be disposed within an associated wireless communications device relative to a ground plane element of a printed wiring board, or may be disposed separately away from the associated wireless communications device.

A resonator element for use with a wireless communication device. The resonator element is substantially splayed and includes first and second conductive portions which are in divergent relation and which are operatively connected to each other by a conducting element. The first conductive portion includes a ground attachment member and a feed attachment member which may be operatively connected to a ground plane and a radio frequency input/output port, respectively. The resonator also includes an angled slot which extends through the first conductive portion, the conducting element, and partially into the second conductive portion. A significant feature of the present invention relates to the sizing of the slot portion of the resonator element. This slot is much smaller than the wavelength of incident radiation, which is a major advantage over previous, prior art slot antenna designs. In a most preferred embodiment, the resonator element from which the slot is cut out or otherwise removed or formed during fabrication of the resonator element is preferably less than one-eighth (â) of the operational wavelength of the 824 to 894 MHz frequency band for which the resonator element is preferably tuned.

In an implementation, an E-plane omni-directional antenna element includes five coplanar waveguide dipoles that are each configured to generate an e-field transmission. A center section of the antenna element couples the five coplanar waveguide dipoles to a radio frequency transmission signal such that the e-field transmission from each of the five coplanar waveguide dipoles are combined to form an E-plane omni-directional transmission pattern.

In an implementation of antenna assembly, an antenna element is formed with a front plate that has slots for wireless communication signal transfer, a dielectric material, a channel guide that is designed to confine the dielectric in a position that aligns the dielectric with the slots in the front plate, and a back plate. The front plate, channel guide, and back plate are attached together to enclose the dielectric within the channel guide to form an enclosed dielectric channel. An antenna assembly includes one or more of the antenna elements.

E-plane omni-directional antenna is described. In an embodiment, a transmission signal connection system includes a center conductive rod to communicate a radio frequency transmission signal, and includes one or more outer conductive rods that each provide a grounded return for the radio frequency transmission signal and shield the center conductive rod. The center conductive rod and the one or more outer conductive rods also couple a first antenna element to at least a second antenna element, and the center conductive rod couples the first antenna element and the at least second antenna element to the radio frequency transmission signal. Each antenna element includes coplanar waveguide dipoles that generate an e-field transmission which are combined to form an E-plane omni-directional transmission pattern.
