ABSTRACT:
An antenna exhibiting a wide bandwidth, a low standing wave ratio, and a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern. The antenna includes a sheet-like antenna element having a feedpoint, and an electromagnetic characteristic having non-uniform variation with distance across the element from the feedpoint. One use of the antenna is on a windshield.
