An antenna assembly is provided for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals in a range around a characteristic wavelength. A first radiative element, has a first end and a second end and is made from an electrically conductive material. The first end of the first radiative element is electrically connected to an antenna feed at an apex point and at least a portion of the first radiative element is disposed outwardly away from the apex point at an acute angle relative to, and on a first side of, an imaginary plane intersecting the apex point. A second radiative element has a first end and a second end and is comprised of an electrically conductive material. The first end of the first radiative element is electrically connected to the antenna feed and the first radiative element at the apex point. At least a portion of the second radiative element extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the imaginary plane. The antenna assembly further includes an electrically conductive ground reference.
