Hooked stub collinear array antenna

A hooked stub collinear array antenna formed from a single conductor and configured to operate at a design frequency having a wavelength, comprising:

• a plurality of radiating elements that are substantially one half the wavelength in length and aligned with a vertical axis, comprising first, second and third radiating elements;
• a first delay element between the first and second radiating elements;
• wherein the first delay element is aligned with a first horizontal axis approximately ninety degrees from the vertical axis extending approximately one quarter of the wavelength, the total length of the delay element is approximately one half the wavelength, and
• a second delay element between the second and third radiating elements;
• wherein the second delay element is aligned with a second horizontal axis approximately ninety degrees from the vertical axis extending approximately one quarter of the wavelength, the total length of the delay element is approximately one half the wavelength and the first and second horizontal axis are rotated by ninety degrees about the vertical axis.
