Abstract

The invention is a low profile antenna array, particularly beneficial for AM broadcasting stations, which dramatically reduces the height of the antenna. The antenna array is constructed of at least two conductors oriented horizontally or sloping slightly up and extending away from a center location where they have upright sections extending above the ground plane by as little as 0.01 wavelength. The individual conductors are each approximately one-quarter wavelength long. The multiple conductors of the antenna array are each fed by impedance matching sections to achieve high individual impedances, which, when connected in parallel can be made to match any desired impedance with dimensional changes.
