Abstract
A vertical polarized omni-directional monopole antenna including a single folded sheet of metal including a ground plane portion, from which extend generally perpendicularly thereto at least four posts, which terminate in respective diagonally extending portions extending generally perpendicularly to the posts, the diagonally extending portions being joined at first and second junction portions, and a connection portion extending from the second junction portion and a coaxial cable having a first conductor coupled to the connection portion and a second conductor coupled to the ground plane portion.

A vertical polarized omni-directional monopole antenna comprising:
- a single folded sheet of metal including a ground plane portion, from which extend generally perpendicularly thereto at least four posts, which terminate in respective diagonally extending portions extending generally perpendicularly to said posts, said diagonally extending portions being joined at first and second junction portions, and a connection portion extending from said second junction portion;
- and
- a coaxial cable having a first conductor coupled to said connection portion and a second conductor coupled to said ground plane portion.
A method for forming a vertical polarized omni-directional monopole antenna comprising:
- providing a single sheet of metal including a ground plane portion, from which extend at least four post portions, which terminate in respective diagonally extending portions, said diagonally extending portions being joined at a first and a second junction portion, and a connection portion extending from said second junction portion;
- bending said sheet at junctions of said post portions and said ground plane portion, such that said post portions extend generally perpendicularly to said ground plane portion;
- bending said connection portion at a junction with said second junction portion such that said connection portion extends generally perpendicularly to said second junction portion;
- bending said sheet at junctions of said post portions and said diagonally extending portions so that said first and second junction portions meet;
- and
- coupling a coaxial cable having a first conductor and a second conductor to said sheet, said coupling comprising:
- coupling said first conductor to said connection portion;
- and
- coupling said second conductor to said ground plane portion.
