Cone Antennas

Bicone, discone, monocone, strip bicone, and strip discone

Biconical antennas are broadband omnidirectional antennas that are widely used in Electorate Support Measurement (ESM). Discone antenna is an omnidirectional, vertically polarized, exceptionally wideband antenna offering a frequency range ratio of 10:1.

Design And Analyze Spherically Capped Biconical Antenna

Model and analyze a spherically capped biconical antenna using custom 3-D shapes. This antenna is a canonical broadband radiator used in practical ultra-wide-band communication systems. [1] The two cones of the antenna are connected by a cylindrical delta gap feed. The height and diameter of the cylindrical feed are equal. The location of the feed is chosen in between the two cone apex points as the gap between them can be considered as infinitesimally small, which nearly resembles an ideal antenna. Later, the effect of feed dimensions variation and mesh density variation near the delta gap is studied by comparing the antenna input impedance for two different feed diameters and mesh density. The antenna is analyzed in the frequency range of 900MHz to 15GHz.
