Description
Bicone radiators can achieve omni-directional patterns over ultra-wide bandwidths. Toyon Research Corporation proposes to prototype a bicone antenna that is tuned from 300 MHz to 15 GHz (50:1 bandwidth). The antenna is roughly 5 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter. The unused space within the top and bottom bicone elements will be used to house batteries, printed circuit boards, and other electronics. The volume of the top and bottom bicone elements will be connected with a pass-through portal allowing for signals to be passed between the two regions.
