1. An antenna comprising:

  • a frustoconical ground support having a first contoured surface;

    an electrically conductive, endless element mounted at a distance from the ground support, the endless element having a second contoured surface that is complementarily contoured to the first contoured surface; and

    a trio of ports arranged along the endless element for conveying radio frequency signals in an operating band of frequencies, the ports being successively spaced apart along the endless element by a spacing defined by a wavelength associated with the operating band.
