Claim:
1. An antenna, comprising: two conductive metal antenna elements, each element comprising one-half of a dipole antenna; each antenna element being a mirror image of the other and formed on a rigid substrate in spaced relation to define a gap there between that provides stable antenna impedance and reactance, a portion of each antenna element at said gap defining a connection pad for connecting a coaxial cable thereto, each antenna element having a profile defining a curved, semi-circular inner edge and an arc-shaped outer edge that define the connection pad of the antenna element at the gap; wherein each antenna element extends from a narrow portion thereof to a point where the edges diverge and define a wide, curved upper element portion that provides wide bandwidth performance; wherein the curve is provided to increase a current path and shift a resonate frequency of the antenna lower, the outer edge of each antenna element further defining a semi-circular, triangle peak projection that bulges from an upper portion of the outer antenna element edge and that provides serial inductance to miniaturize the antenna size.
