The patent US11996609B2 describes an ultra-wideband monopole antenna assembly designed for 5G applications, characterized by its low and slim profile. The assembly consists of two quarter wavelength conductors, each featuring a flat portion and two curved wings. The flat portions of the conductors are arranged perpendicularly to each other, while the curved wings are concentrically aligned with a common center. Notably, the dimensions and shapes of the curved wings differ between the two conductors, enhancing the antenna's performance. The assembly is constructed from materials such as FR4 PCB for the flat portions and stainless steel for the curved wings, ensuring durability and effective signal transmission.

Further specifications include height measurements for the conductors and wings, with the overall height of the antenna assembly being less than 80 mm. The design incorporates a coaxial connector that connects the center conductor to the joined flat portions of both quarter wavelength conductors. The patent outlines various configurations and dimensions for the components, emphasizing the antenna's adaptability and efficiency in transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals across the 5G band. This innovative design aims to meet the growing demand for compact and high-performance antennas in modern communication systems.
