Abstract
An antenna system includes a plurality of antenna elements arranged in an array having a plurality of array elements. Each antenna element has a radiator extending from a radiator feed end to a radiator terminal end, where a first straight-line distance from the radiator feed end to the radiator terminal end is less than λ/4, λ being a longest wavelength of a bandwidth of the antenna element. Each antenna element also includes a counterpoise extending from a counterpoise feed end to a counterpoise terminal end, where a second straight-line distance from the counterpoise feed end to the counterpoise terminal end is less than λ/4. The counterpoise feed end is spaced apart from the radiator feed end. The radiator and the counterpoise diverge at an acute angle from an area encompassing the radiator feed end and the counterpoise feed end.
