An antenna which includes a monoconical antenna feed assembly, where the
feed assembly has a base and an apex, a ground plane adjacent to the
monoconical antenna feed assembly near the apex, and an antenna reflector
coupled to the ground plane, where the antenna reflector at least
partially surrounds the monoconical antenna feed assembly. The
monoconical feed point is used to drive a reflector antenna. The
broadband characteristics of the monoconical image vertical antenna
(typical ground plane geometry) are used as the feed point for the
reflector to give modest amount of gain while maintaining larger than
previously developed bandwidths.
