Claims21
An L-band antenna, including a plurality of elongated slender radiating elements arranged in a conical configuration, the radiating elements having first and second ends, the first ends of the elements attached in a tapered fashion to provide a conductive tapered end, and a center conductor protruding from the conductive tapered end for connecting the antenna to a transmit source or receiver.
An L-band antenna, comprising:
- a plurality of thin wire radiating elements arranged in a conical configuration, the radiating elements having first and second ends, the first ends of the elements attached in a tapered fashion to provide a conductive tapered end;
- a connector structure having a center conductor, wherein the conductive tapered end is electrically connected to the center conductor of the connector;
- and
- a ground plane structure, said connector structure secured to said ground plane structure to hold said plurality of radiating elements in a fixed relation.
