Folded dipole antenna elements (2, 4) are disposed generally in parallel,
being spaced by a distance smaller than a half of the wavelength
employed. The antenna elements (2, 4) are connected to a combiner (16)
via feeders (12, 14) having different lengths. The difference in length
between the feeders (12, 14) is such that received signals resulting from
a radio wave coming to the antenna elements (2, 4) from the front and
received by the antenna elements (12, 14) are in phase with each other at
the inputs (16a, 16b) of the combiner (16), whereas received signals
resulting from a radio wave coming to the antenna elements (2, 4) from
the back and received by the antenna elements (12, 14) are 180.degree.
out of phase with each other at the inputs (16a, 16b) of the combiner
(16).
