  • Patent number: 5880697
    Abstract: A multi-band low-profile antenna includes a conductive ground-plane element; a first radiator element mounted on the ground-plane element to define a first vertical loop; a second radiator element mounted on the ground-plane element to define a second vertical loop; and a coupling element mounted on the ground-plane element to define a vertical coupling loop, with one end portion of the coupling element being connected to a feed terminal. In at least one embodiment, the first radiator element and the second radiator element are of such dimensions and are so disposed as to be parasitically coupled to each other, to cause the first radiator element to resonate at a first predetermined VHF frequency and to cause the second radiator element to resonate at a second predetermined VHF frequency.
