Abstract
An antenna is provided which includes a half wave helical element RF coupled to a monopole element. The monopole element is situated on the axis of the helical element and extends into the helical element a distance sufficient to permit resonant coupling between the helical element and the monopole element. The monopole element is driven by a source of radio frequency energy such that the helical element coupled thereto is excited by such radio frequency energy.
