Abstract:
A dual orthogonal inverted L near vertical incidence skywave antenna, comprising:an RF ground plane;a first RF loop element which defines a first plane, and has a first feed node a first ground node coupled to said ground plane, first opposed side sections that extend to a distance h.sub.1 from said ground plane, wherein said first RF loop element intersects a reference axis coincident with said first plane; anda second RF loop element which defines a second plane that is substantially orthogonal to said first plane and coincident with said reference axis, and has second feed node a second ground node coupled to said ground plane, second opposed side sections that extend to a distance h.sub.2 from said ground plane, wherein said second RF loop element intersects said reference axis, and said first RF loop element is separate from said second RF loop element between said distances h.sub.1 and h.sub.2.
