Abstract
An antenna that includes, in at least one embodiment, first and second radiating elements each having a substantially conical radiating surface. Each radiating surface may be substantially linearly conical or nonlinearly conical. The radiating surfaces are substantially aligned coaxially, and the radiating elements are positioned on opposing sides of a signal launching region, extending in opposing directions from the signal launching region. A signal feed extends through the first radiating element, thereby positioning a signal launch point between the first and second radiating elements in the signal launching region proximate vertices of the first and second radiating surfaces. The first and second radiating elements have first and second included angles, respectively, that are each no less than about 40 degrees.
