Abstract
A monopole antenna is mounted on a ground plane and incorporates a radiating structure such as a disc or hollow cap parallel to the ground plane, for loading the antenna. An elevated feed is formed by a biconical central post between the radiating structure and the ground plane. Tuning is also accomplished by a partial or total circumferential dielectric (which may also function as a support) having an outer electrically conducting sheet spaced apart from the central post to provide shunt capacitance, and by outboard inductive posts which connect between the ground plane and the radiating structure to provide shunt inductance. Alternatively, additional tuning may be accomplished by a circuit between the upper and lower portions of the central post.
