ABSTRACT:
A self-erecting antenna includes a base for pivotally mounting two oppositely extending pi-shaped dipole antennas that are symmetrically positioned with respect to a medial ground plane attached to the base. Two sheets of flexible KAPTON material are each connected at opposite edges thereof, between the base and a respective dipole antenna, enabling collapsed folding of the antenna for storage. When the dipole antenna is free to move, the KAPTON sheets act like springs to erect the dipole antenna to a deployed condition.
