20 Claims

1. An antenna comprising a magneto-electric dipole or a plurality of magneto-electric dipoles, wherein the magneto-electric dipole is a composite dipole comprising an electric dipole and a magnetic dipole in electromagnetic coupling, wherein the magnetic dipole comprises a first magnetic patch portion and a second magnetic patch portion which are physically interconnected at a base portion and which cooperate to define a patch antenna having an inter-patch channel, the channel extending along a channel axis to define a channel length and having a channel width and a channel height; wherein the electric dipole comprises a plurality of planar portions including a first planar portion on which a first electric dipole portion is defined and a second planar portion on which a second electric dipole portion is defined, the first planar portion and the second planar portion having a first electrical conductivity of metal; and wherein the electric dipole portion is configured to define an electric signal current path having a width smaller than the channel length; and/or wherein the electric dipole portion comprises a higher resistivity portion which defines a region of a second electrical conductivity of non-metal which is intermediate an electric dipole portion and the magnetic dipole.
