In an embodiment, an antenna array includes at least first and second antenna rings. The antennas in the first antenna ring are each spaced apart by approximately a first distance from a center of the first antenna ring. And the second antenna rings is approximately concentric and coplanar with the first antenna ring, and each antenna of the second antenna ring is spaced approximately a second distance from the center. For example, the antennas of the first antenna ring are spaced apart by half of a first wavelength corresponding to a first frequency of a frequency range over which the antenna array is designed to operate, and the antennas of the second antenna ring are spaced apart by half of a second wavelength corresponding to a second frequency of the frequency range.

An electronic device may be provided with a cover layer and a phased antenna array mounted against the cover layer. Each antenna in the array may include a first patch element that is directly fed using first and second feeds and a second patch element that is directly fed using third and fourth feeds. A slot element may be formed in the first patch element. The first patch element may radiate in a first frequency band through the cover layer. The slot element may radiate in a second frequency band that is higher than the first frequency band through the cover layer. The second patch element may indirectly feed the slot element. Locating the radiating elements for each frequency band in the same plane may allow the antenna to radiate through the cover layer in both frequency bands with satisfactory antenna efficiency.

An antenna producing a quasi-omni radiation pattern. The antenna includes at least three main panels, each having a plurality of radiating elements thereon, disposed in one or more columns of elements. The main panels are disposed in a substantially circular arrangement to generate the quasi-omni radiation pattern. At least one null filling panel is disposed between every two consecutive main panels of the at least three main panels, directed towards a null in the quasi-omni radiation pattern between the two consecutive main panels. The null filling panel has at least a single column of elements that radiate a null filling signal that is substantially the same signal as a signal from elements from the two adjacent main panels.

The invention relates to a dual polarized wideband array antenna using orthogonal feeding technique to have a low profile and a cosecant squared beam. The array antenna includes three main parts: the element antennas, the orthogonal feeding structure and the feeding network. The spatially orthogonal feeding structure is a transition between the microstrip lines on element antennas and the striplines on the feeding network. The top layer of the feeding network operates as a ground plane for the array antenna. Due to the disparities between the stripline lengths, the phase parameters of element antennas are optimized to create a cosecant squared radiation pattern.
