Zusammenfassung:An antenna 10 comprising a folded dipole and a reflector 18 positioned to reflect radiation emitted by the dipole that is incident on the reflector. The folded dipole may be a bow-tie dipole, and may comprise two substantially symmetrical elements 12, 14 that are connected by an electrically conductive third element 16. The dipole may be formed of a conductive material on a substrate, which may be a printed circuit board (PCB) 20. The reflector may be the ground plane of the PCB 20. The antenna may further comprise a balun for connecting the antenna to a radio device.
