Abstract
The invention relates to a data transmission system comprising an antenna provided with a monopole radiating element held in place by an earth plane provided with a conducting surface. According to the invention, the radiating element is located facing the surface of the earth plane so as to interact with the latter in order to improve its performance.
Claims8
Data transmission system comprising an antenna provided with at least a monopole radiating element mounted on a conductive earth plane, wherein the radiating element is connected to the conductive surface of the earth plane via a mast, wherein said mast is located near an edge on said conductive surface and wherein said mast is fastened to the radiating element at its point of excitation, whereby this point of excitation is off-centered with respect to the surface of the earth plane, and wherein said radiating element has a planar shape and is substantially vertically arranged with respect to the conductive surface of the earth plane.
