Abstract: The invention is a low profile antenna array, particularly beneficial for AM broadcasting stations, which dramatically reduces the height of the antenna. The antenna array is constructed of at least two conductors oriented horizontally or sloping slightly up and extending away from a center location where they have upright sections extending above the ground plane by as little as 0.01 wavelength. The individual conductors are each approximately one-quarter wavelength long. The multiple conductors of the antenna array are each fed by impedance matching sections to achieve high individual impedances, which, when connected in parallel can be made to match any desired impedance with dimensional changes.

Abstract: A phased antenna array is described that includes a conductive ground plane and a plurality of log-periodic antennas, each antenna having a plurality of radiating elements, each radiating element having a resonant frequency. Each log-periodic antenna extends from a common feed region at an acute angle with respect to the conductive ground plane, the angle assuring that all said radiating elements having a common resonant frequency exhibit an identical electrical distance from each other and from the ground plane.
