ABSTRACT:
A compact, vehicle-mounted antenna is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first and second antenna element are positioned on a conductive ground plane. The antenna elements can comprise platforms supported by a ground and a feed. The antenna elements can be tuned to various bands (e.g., cellular or PCS). At least one additional antenna element (e.g., a GPS receive antenna) can be positioned between the two antenna elements. One of the feeds of the antenna elements can be angled so that the antenna element has a desired height (e.g., a height matching the other antenna element). The antenna elements can be electrically connected to a transmission line via a single feed line.
