Antenna and method of manufacture of a radio

摘要

An antenna is described having a generally elongate radiating part (10) and a reflective plane (11)juxtaposed and generally parallel to the elongate radiating part. The radiating part has a free end (15), a ground connection (13) remote from the free end and a feed connection (16) between the free end and the ground connection. The ground connection is mounted on the reflective plane (11), giving electrical ground connection and mechanical support. A method of manufacture of an antenna is also described involving breaking off an extension portion to suit the required frequency of operation.
