  • Patent number: 6335706
    Abstract: A method to feed antennas proximal to a monopole antenna is shown. A monopole antenna is fed through a ground plane by a conventional means. A transmission feed line for an antenna proximal the monopole antenna passes through the ground plane and makes contact with the monopole antenna at some distance from the ground plane, this contact being made by a non-signal carrying conductor of the transmission line. In the special case of a coaxial feed transmission line, this non-signal carrying conductor is the outside of the outermost conductor of the coaxial feed line. After making contact with the monopole antenna the feed line then passes through or along the side of a monopole antenna to reach the antenna proximal to the monopole.
