A portable antenna with a housing in which the antenna is held when not in use, and a mechanism to cause the antenna to pop-up from, and sit on top of, the housing when it is to be used. The mechanism can function to collapse the antenna into the housing when not in use.

Portable antenna

A portable antenna is disclosed that can be collapsed into, and erected from, a housing. There is also a pull cord mechanism arranged, when pulled, to cause the antenna to revert between the erect or collapsed configurations. The pull cord extends from the antenna to a position in easy reach of the soldier's hand so that the antenna can be erected/collapsed remotely.

A mechanism is disclosed to dismantle/erect a portable antenna that includes a linkage between radial driven elements and radial ground plane elements of the antenna which acts to cause them to move together between a collapsed and an erect arrangement.
