Abstract:
A means for concealing an antenna within an extension of a common roof structure using an electrically shortened element laminated between two layers of non-RF conductive material which add to the strength of the invention as well as concealability. The antenna itself comprises a vertical radiator and a helical counterpoise of metal strip, wire, or deposited metal fed at the center point. The entire antenna is housed between laminated layers of plastic in the form of a vent pipe.
