Abstract
A field antenna comprises an antenna assembly and an optional mast assembly. The antenna assembly can comprise two antenna portions coupled to a feedcone assembly as a single foldable unit. The mast assembly can comprise a unitary telescoping mast. The field antenna can be part of an antenna kit that can be disassembled and packed in a transit bag for storage and transport. The antenna assembly can be used as a field antenna alone, or can be selectively mounted to the mast assembly or a vehicle.
