Abstract
Short, dual-driven groundless antennas are provided. One of the antennas includes a tubular outer conductor, a tubular inner conductor, and an electrical connector that electrically connects an opposite end of the outer conductor to the exterior of the inner conductor. The inner conductor is longitudinally disposed within the hollow axial interior of the outer conductor such that an axial gap exists between the radially inner surface of the outer conductor and the radially outer surface of the inner conductor, and the inner conductor runs at least to the opposite end of the outer conductor. Electrical signals are connected to a driven end of both the outer and inner conductors, where these signals supply power to/from the antenna whenever it is used as a transmitter/receiver, and neither of these signals needs to be connected to an electrical ground.
