Abstract: A multiband antenna including a feed point, a helical radiating element galvanically connected to and fed by the feed point, the helical radiating element resonating in a Very High Frequency range and an elongate radiating element arranged coaxially within the helical radiating element and galvanically connected to and fed by the feed point, the elongate radiating element extending along only a portion of the helical radiating element, the elongate radiating element having a first resonant frequency and a second resonant frequency, the elongate radiating element operating as a quarter-wavelength monopole at the first resonant frequency and as an eighth-wavelength monopole at the second resonant frequency.

Abstract: A wideband antenna, including a radio-frequency connector providing a radio-frequency current, an elongate radiating element galvanically connected to the radio-frequency connector, the elongate radiating element forming a galvanic radio-frequency current path for the radio-frequency current and at least one generally cylindrical conductive element enclosing at least a portion of the elongate radiating element and forming a capacitive radio-frequency current path for the radio-frequency current.
