This invention provides low profile distributed antenna which comprises a first and second elongated continuous conductors being kept parallel to each other and forming a transmission line, a plurality of perturbation radiators on the first elongated continuous conductor, wherein a substantial amount of radio frequency energy transmitted by the transmission line radiates from the plurality of perturbation radiators, therefore, the transmission line serves as a low profile distributed antenna.
