By combining a horizontal planar dipole and a vertically oriented folded shorted patch antenna, a new low-profile magneto-electric dipole antenna is presented.

A dipole antenna with a bent dumbbell shape was positioned above and horizontal to a metal reflector to improve peak gain and steering of the radiation pattern. A parasitic square patch etched on the ...

Instructors and students work together to assemble a dual dipole antenna for observing bursts of radio activity associated with solar storms.
