Reduced height monopole/crossed slot antenna
First Claim
1. A monopole/slot antenna having generally parallel spaced ground planes, the upper one of which having a slot therein, a stripline located between the ground planes generally parallel thereto and offset toward the slotted ground plate, and a monopole conductively connected to and extending from the stripline through said slot generally orthogonally to the upper ground plane, said slot having first and second elongated slot portions, one being orthogonal to the other and intersecting generally at the centers thereof, said stripline having first and second stripline portions, one being orthogonal to the other and conductively intersecting generally at the centers thereof, said stripline portions being oriented approximately 45°
- out of physical alignment with the longitudinal axis of said slot portions, said monopole extending from the intersection of said stripline portions through the slot, and means for feeding said stripline at selected ends thereof.

Abstract
A reduced height monopole/crossed slot antenna having generally parallel spaced ground planes, the upper one of which has a capacitively loaded slot therein formed by crossed slot portions. A stripline is located between the ground planes offset toward the upper ground plane, and is formed by crossed stripline portions. A monopole extends from the intersection of the crossed stripline portions through the intersection of the crossed slot portions orthogonally to the upper ground plane, and is top hat loaded at the outer end thereof. The stripline is fed at selective ends thereof.
