Small, narrow profile multiband antenna

摘要

A multiband antenna system includes a helical antenna having a first leg and a second leg wherein the first leg consists of a coaxial conductor. The multiband antenna also includes an antenna sub-system coupled to the helical antenna wherein the coaxial conductor feeds the antenna sub-system. A radome encloses components of the antenna system, and the radome may be covered by a radio-frequency transparent sock for concealment purposes.
