Claim Text:
1. A multiband whip antenna comprising a coaxial line feed running through a plurality of tubular sections to an L-band dipole having a feedpoint, wherein the L-band dipole is configured to increase the bandwidth of the multiband whip antenna 6 GHz; a double shielded meanderline structure comprising a right hand side and a left hand side, said left hand side being a mirror image of said right hand side, said right hand side having a meanderline structure folded back on itself a number of times, with the top portion of the folded structure extending over the top to the mirror image of the folded shielded meanderline, such that there is a continuous meanderline folded structure from the right hand side to the left hand side; and a sleeve surrounding the L-band feedpoint configured to minimize reverse polarity currents at the L-band feedpoint.
