Abstract
A portable whip antenna () is used to form a parallel wire transmission line () and support for a dipole antenna system (). The portable whip antenna is formed of an elongated monopole radiating element () extending from a feed point () comprising an RF connector, which can be connected directly to a portable radio transceiver (). A first flexible conductor extends parallel to and spaced apart from the elongated monopole radiating element of the whip antenna to form the parallel wire transmission line. A first dipole element () is formed from a portion of the first flexible conductor extending from a link member in a first direction transverse to a length of the elongated monopole radiating element. A second dipole radiating element () is formed of an elongated length of a second flexible conductor () extending in a second direction transverse to the elongated monopole radiating element.
