Abstract:
Described embodiments provide a cupped antenna for transmitting and receiving radio signals. The cupped antenna includes a cup having a rear surface and one or more side surfaces. The rear surface and side surfaces define a cavity having a first radiating element of the cupped antenna disposed within it. The first radiating element is coupled to a first feed circuit. The one or more side surfaces have one or more indentations disposed therein. The one or more indentations are configured to reduce a size and weight of the cup. The one or more indentations also provide an opening within an aperture of the cupped antenna such that an additional antenna can be disposed within the opening.
