An isolator for an antenna system includes a printed circuit board based parasitic element, where the parasitic element has a functional portion and a first connecting portion, and the functional portion has a printed electrically-conducting segment, and the first connecting portion is configured to engage a base board of the antenna system. The isolator further includes at least one support element configured as a second printed circuit board component, where the support element has a second connecting portion, and the second connecting portion is configured to engage the base board of the antenna system, and the support element is configured to support the parasitic element.
