Abstract
A broadband bicone antenna system supports improved VSWR operation of a high-impedance bicone antenna having a reduced aperture size, high input impedance at the central vertex of the cones, one or more pattern tuning filters associated with the cones, and input filtering for frequency selective impedance matching. Pattern tuning filters can improve the radiation pattern at different frequencies by controlling the electrical length of the antenna in response to the frequency components of the associated wideband signal. Impedance matching input filters can improve the signal matching to couple radio frequency energy into the antenna system from a feed line. Mutual tuning of the pattern tuning filters; the impedance matching input filters; and the impedance of the bicone antenna itself can improve the overall voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) performance of the bicone antenna system over a broad range of operating frequencies.
