Abstract
Typical consumer-grade terrestrial television antennas use simple flat plates in a dipole configuration. Reception is enhanced by elevating the antenna for better line of sight to the broadcast antenna, which often necessitates locating the antenna in the attic of a building or on the roof in the where it is exposed to the weather. The antenna disclosed is uses antenna elements that are substantially planar, have a unique shape that improves reception, and allows for compact packaging in a weatherproof case.
