Abstract:
1. An antenna assembly for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals in a range around a characteristic wavelength comprising: a first radiative element, having a first end and a second end and comprised of an electrically conductive material, the first end of the first radiative element electrically connected to an antenna feed at an apex point and at least a portion of the first radiative element being disposed outwardly away from the apex point at an acute angle relative to, and on a first side of, an imaginary plane intersecting the apex point; a second radiative element, having a first end and a second end and comprised of an electrically conductive material, the first end of the second radiative element electrically connected to the antenna feed and the first radiative element at the apex point, at least a portion of the second radiative element extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the imaginary plane, the second radiative element comprising: an electrically conductive ground reference.
