Original Abstract Submitted
An antenna assembly includes an antenna feed, a ground plane, a first antenna element, a second antenna element, and a shorting post that is shared between the first and second antenna elements. The first antenna element includes a first conductive dipole arm in planar alignment with a surface of the ground plane and a second conductive dipole arm in planar alignment with the surface of the ground plane and adjacent to the first conductive dipole arm. The second antenna element includes a third conductive dipole arm in planar alignment with the surface of the ground plane and adjacent to the second conductive dipole arm, and a fourth conductive dipole arm in planar alignment with the surface of the ground plane and adjacent to the third conductive dipole arm. The shorting post is in electrical communication with the ground plane, the second conductive dipole arm and the third conductive dipole arm.
