Abstract

A folded antenna is provided including an antenna having a fold therein. The fold in the antenna divides the antenna into first and second radiating portions. The first radiating portion of the foldedantenna is planar and the second radiating portion has a window therein. The first and second radiating portions of the folded antenna are coupled at the fold in the antenna having a predetermined angle therebetween. Related antenna systems and meters are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The inventive concept relates generally to antennas, and more particularly to antennas suitable for use in meters. Background technique [0002] An antenna is used in a smart meter so the meter can communicate with a remote location. For example, a smart meter may measure a customer's usage of, for example, energy, water or gas, and communicate the customer's usage directly to the utility, possibly eliminating the customary of estimating a bill. Thus, smart meters can provide near real-time usage information about how much, when and (in some cases) at what price customers use energy, water or gas. Smart meters work as part of an intelligent network and thus provide improved outage detection and notification. Some smart meters can electronically report the location of an outage before a call is made to the utility by the customer, making restoration quicker and status notification easier. [0003] Having an integrated antenna in the meter itself allo...
