Abstract

An antenna includes a conductive loop with multiple feed points spaced around the loop. The loop may be opened at each feed point, thereby forming multiple loop portions. In an embodiment, the antenna may be a shielded loop antenna having multiple shielded feed lines. A kit including one or more components of such a shielded loop antenna may include a conductive structure in the form of a loop having multiple radial arms. In an embodiment of a method for forming an antenna, multiple feed points may be spaced apart around a conductive loop, and a respective feed line coupled to each of the feed points. In an embodiment, the feed lines may be shielded lines connected together at a shunt connection. The antenna may produce an isotropic radiation pattern similar to that of an electrically small antenna, but from an antenna of moderate electrical size.
