ABSTRACT:
A combination antenna for aircraft and the like capable of transmitting and receiving VHF signals and receiving GPS signals comprising a VHF monopole antenna assembly and a GPS patch antenna assembly located within a common aerodynamically shaped dielectric housing. Separate connectors connect coaxial cables to the two assemblies and assembly elements are provided to suppress cross coupling of signal harmonics and noise from the transmitted VHF signals to enhance isolation of the received signals for the GPS and VHF functions. No adding or separation of the VHF and GPS signal information is required and the low patch antenna profile enables a low and aerodynamically shaped antenna for the beneficial use on small aircraft.
