Circuit board folded dipole with integral balun and transformer

An antenna is described having an RF connection and a second connection. The antenna includes a dielectric panel having a first longitudinal edge and second, opposing longitudinal edge and a first transverse edge and second, opposing transverse edge, a first antenna element disposed on a first predominant surface of the panel, said first antenna element extending along a periphery of the dielectric panel and only along the periphery of the first surface with a second connection located midway along the first longitudinal edge of the board and a gap in the first antenna element located midway along the opposing second longitudinal edge and a second antenna element disposed on a second predominant surface of the panel, said second antenna element extending along the periphery and only along the periphery, said second antenna element electrically connecting with the RF connection located midway along the first longitudinal edge adjacent the second connection and extending along the first longitudinal edge, across the transverse edge and along the second, opposing longitudinal edge to terminate adjacent the gap on a distal end.
