Abstract
An embodiment of the invention is directed to a method for manufacturing a radiator structure for a conical helical antenna that includes: (a) processing a piece of metal so as to produce a first metal structure with conical exterior and interior surfaces, and (b) processing the first metal structure to remove material between the conical exterior and interior surfaces to yield a radiator structure with a conical helical shaped conductor that can be combined with a ground plane to produce a conical helical antenna. In one embodiment, the radiator structure includes a matching structure and a cap with the conical helical conductor, matching structure, and cap being a single piece of metal.
