1. An antenna comprising:

  • a base having a substantially planar upper surface with an axis perpendicular to the upper surface, wherein the base is at least partially conductive and forms a ground plane for the antenna; and

    at least first, second, and third conductive planar elements that are substantially triangular and are electrically coupled to the base via a feed point, each of the first, second, and third elements having a vertical edge oriented parallel to the base'"'"'s axis and a horizontal edge oriented parallel to the upper surface, wherein an angle of each element formed by the intersection of the vertical and horizontal edges of each element is located on the base'"'"'s axis and is distal from the feed point, and wherein the elements are positioned equidistantly from the base and equiangularly from one another, and wherein the vertical edges of the elements are coupled along the base'"'"'s axis to form a contiguous conductive surface that is a driven element of the antenna.
