ABSTRACT:
Arms (310, 320, 330, 340) of an antenna element are connected to a balanced-unbalanced conversion network (510) at a feed point of excitation to provide an antenna assembly. Characteristics such as size of the antenna assembly are improved by providing a tuning element near connections (610, 620) to a feed point of excitation. The tuning element (410) is electrically connected to one of the arms (330) but is disposed with a gap between a neighboring arm (320). A gap may also be provided between the tuning element (410) and a feed point of excitation. The arms and tuning element are preferably thin metallic arms formed on an elongated dielectric tube (210) in the preferred construction of the invention. The balanced-unbalanced conversion network (510) may also be disposed within the elongated dielectric tube (210) according to the preferred construction.
