Abstract
A new type of antenna is provided by combining a single monocone with one or more additional antennas. The additional antennas are longer than the monocone, or they are chosen from a list of antennas. The inventive combination antenna has a greater frequency bandwidth than any of the component antennas would when employed singly. The new antenna has a single RF feed point. The monocone and the other component antennas are all electrically connected together close to said feed point. A monocone is also known as a conical monopole.
