In one embodiment, the Planar Inverted Cone Antenna (PICA) is composed of a single flat element vertically mounted above a ground plane. A geometry of Planar Inverted Cone Antenna (PICA) is based on the conventional circular-disc antenna with trimmed top part having the shape of a planar-inverted cone, in a second embodiment, the Fourpoint antenna also provides balanced impedance over the operating band and has useful radiation patterns and dual polarization over its operating frequency.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/41/421/068/0.pdf10359224343/700.MS343/853343/873H01Q21/26H01Q1/38H01Q9/28H01Q9/406842141
