An antenna assembly and related methods are described. The antenna assembly (1) comprises an extendible mast (2) constructed and arranged so as to be configurable between a coiled form and an extended form. The extended mast (2) is resiliently biased in the form of an elongate tube having a slit along its length. The coiled mast is wound about an axis extending transversely to the longitudinal extent of the mast. An antenna (6) is integrally coupled to the mast such that when extended, the mast supports and positions the antenna, and when coiled, the mast and antenna are coiled together. |
