(under subclass 700) Subject matter wherein a plurality of physically separate straight linear radiating type conductors lie in a planar unique surface; or the claims recite that the linear conductors are arranged in a plane, or equivalent subject matter.
(1) Note. The linear conductors are considered separate when they are isolated in space or nonradiating or noncollecting means couple the linear portions.
(2) Note. Two parallel linear conductors are not sufficient for classification here, but rather in subclasses 826+, 844 and 893 below since other surfaces such as a cylinder may be passed through these conductors. At least three parallel linear conductors are necessary for classification here, or else the claims must recite that the antennas lie in a plane.

853+, for plural antennas with a coupling network or impedance in the leadin.
893, and the Search Notes thereunder, for plural antennas in general.
