Abstract
An ultra-wideband, low profile antenna is provided. The antenna includes a ground plane substrate, a feed conductor, a top hat conductor, a shorting arm, and a ring slot. The feed conductor includes a first end and a second end. The first end is configured for electrical coupling to a feed network through a feed element extending from the ground plane substrate. The top hat conductor includes a generally planar sheet mounted to the second end of the feed conductor in a first plane approximately parallel to a second plane defined by the ground plane substrate. The shorting arm includes a third end and a fourth end. The third end is mounted to the top hat conductor, and the fourth end is mounted to the ground plane substrate. The ring slot is formed in the ground plane substrate around the feed element.
