Abstract:
The invention as disclosed is a parallel plate antenna having a number of stacked horizontal plates and two vertical plates. Alternating ones of the horizontal plates are electrically coupled to one vertical plate such that the horizontal plates coupled to one vertical plate are interleaved with the horizontal plates coupled to the other vertical plate. The assembled antenna is mounted on a planar mounting flange. The height/width of the antenna is approximately 1/30th of a wavelength at the frequency of operation.
