Biconical antenna supported by a corset-styled dielectric shroud

A biconical antenna, comprising:

• a dielectric corset having a first conical chamber defined therein and a second conical chamber defined therein opposite the first conical chamber, the dielectric corset further defining a passage from the second conical chamber to the first conical chamber;
• a first conical radiating structure bonded within the first conical chamber of the dielectric corset, the first conical radiating structure defining a first sinusoidal surface, wherein the first conical radiating structure further comprises:
• a first base substrate;
• a first metalized layer surrounding the first base substrate to conduct RF signals;
• a second conical radiating structure bonded within the second conical chamber of the dielectric corset, the second conical radiating structure defining a second sinusoidal surface, wherein the second conical radiating structure further comprises:
• a second base substrate;
• a second metalized layer surrounding the second base substrate to conduct the RF signals;
• an SMA connector connected to the second conical radiating structure and having a metal pin extending through the passage to electrically contact the first metalized layer of the first conical radiating structure and provide RF signals thereto;
• and
• an insulator surrounding the metal pin of the SMA connector within the passage to insulate the metal pin from the second conical radiating structure and the dielectric corset.

A biconical antenna, comprising:

• a dielectric corset having a first conical chamber defined therein and a second conical chamber defined therein opposite the first conical chamber, the dielectric corset further defining a passage from the second conical chamber to the first conical chamber;
• a first conical radiating structure bonded within the first conical chamber of the dielectric corset, wherein a top edge of the first conical radiating structure is located above a top edge of the dielectric corset to avoid regions of frequency that would cause antenna gains to a horizon to drop out;
• a second conical radiating structure bonded within the second conical chamber of the dielectric corset, wherein a bottom edge of the second conical radiating structure is located below a bottom edge of the dielectric corset to avoid the regions of the frequency that would cause the antenna gains to the horizon to drop out;
• an SMA connector connected to the second conical radiating structure and having a metal pin extending through the passage to electrically contact the first conical radiating structure and provide RF signals thereto;
• and
• wherein the first conical radiating structure and the second conical radiating structure radiates energy that radially symmetric to the horizon responsive to the RF signals.
