Abstract
A multiple-feed ultrawideband biconical antenna includes a lower cone, an upper cone, and a dielectric member between the lower cone and the upper cone. The multiple-feed ultrawideband biconical antenna also includes a shorting rod extended through the dielectric member and connected to the lower cone below the dielectric member and the upper cone above the dielectric member. The multiple-feed ultrawideband biconical antenna further includes an antenna input having a coaxial interface configured to (i) connect a respective feed line among a set of multiple feed lines to the lower cone and to the upper cone and (ii) transfer an input power from the respective feed line to the antenna.
