Two element low profile antenna

摘要: An antena (10A, 20, 30) which exhibits a low profile. The antenna includes counterpoise (10A) of electrically conductive material and passive element (20) oriented substantially parallel thereto. ends (22, 24) the are coupled to surface. active (30) middle portion first second outer end portions (48, 50). is situated adjacent spaced apart from by predetermined distance relationship therewith. (48) bent toward grounded (22) nearest represents feedpoint with respect (10A). remaining (50) towards (24) 50) virtue bends orient them close result in coupling substantial electromagnetic energy between element. Substantial radiated both horizontal polarization vertical when excited.
