UNIVERSAL DIRECTIONAL POLARISATION ZIGZAG-SHAPED ANTENNA Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01Q21/24 

FIELD: radio engineering.

SUBSTANCE: antenna includes dipole and reflector. Active dipole and reflector are located in parallel planes. Reflector and active dipole are located at distance of λ/8-λ/20 of average wave length of working range from each other. Active dipole consists of four equal open coils. Coils are located in one plane. Each coil has two sides and one base. Open ends of coils are turned to the array centre and serve as terminals. Power supplies are crosswise connected to terminals. Active dipole and reflector are connected to each other by means of conductors. Each conductor is fixed with one of its ends on the middle of the open coil base, and with the other end on the reflector centre.

EFFECT: increasing compactness, single-sided antenna directivity with increase in amplification factor.
