A SUPPORT MEMBER FOR FORMING AN ARRAY OF DIPOLE ANTENNAS, AND AN ARRAY OF DIPOLE ANTENNAS

摘要

A support member for arrangement with additional support members to form an array of dipole antennas, the support member comprising: a first portion of a conductive arm of a dipole antenna; a first portion of a conductive arm of another dipole antenna; and a second portion of the conductive arm of the dipole antenna extending from the first portion of the conductive arm of the dipole antenna towards the first portion of the conductive arm of the other dipole antenna, defining a gap in a direct current path between the second portion of the conductive arm of the dipole antenna and the first portion of the conductive arm of the other dipole antenna.
