ABSTRACT:
An antenna consisting of three separate members, two members which are oriented perpendicular to a ground plane which function as short monopole antennas and a third member parallel to and above the ground plane which functions as a single conductor transmission line above ground, top-connecting the two antennas. One of the monopole antennas is connected to the ground plane through a terminating resistor and the other monopole is connected to the ground plane through an impedance matching transformer. The antennas mount on a ground plane, an electrically conducting surface such as the roof of a vehicle, aircraft or other suitable surface, and take an aerodynamic shape. The antenna exhibits a cardioidal pattern over an azimuth angle of approximately 120.degree. and is especially applicable for use in a multiple antenna arrangement in the application of direction finding systems. The antenna is useful over a wide range of frequencies without adjustment, because of its broad bandwidth, which exceeds 100:1.
