Abstract:
1. An antenna comprising: a first conical section, having a radial width that is two thirds of the total antenna radius; a second conical section, having the same dimensions as the first conical section, disposed below the first conical section and oriented on the same axis as the first conical section but in the opposite direction such that the apex of the second conical section is a small axial distance from the apex of the first conical section, wherein both first and second conical sections are energized at their respective apices which serve as the feed point of the antenna; a first dipole section, having a radial width that is one third of the total antenna radius, joined to and extending from said first conical section, wherein the pitch angle of the first conical section is less than that of the first dipole section; a second dipole section, having the same dimensions as the first dipole section, joined to and extending from said second conical section, wherein the pitch angle of the second conical section is less than that of the second dipole section; and a plurality of cylindrical rods positioned symmetrically along a circumferential perimeter of the first dipole section and second dipole section wherein one of the plurality of cylindrical rods is an inductive short and each of said plurality of cylindrical rods are connected to the first and second dipole sections such that the connection points serve as physical supports for the entire antenna while the connection points of the cylindrical rod that is an inductive short also serve as electrical contacts.
