ANTENNA WITH PARASITIC ELEMENTS

Technology for a wire antenna is disclosed. The wire antenna can include a vertical center feed line. The wire antenna can include a horizontal antenna element carried by the vertical center feed line. The horizontal antenna element can have a first conductive surface and a second conductive surface substantially opposite to the first conductive surface. The wire antenna can include a first parasitic element adjacent to the first conductive surface and spaced at a first selected parasitic distance from the horizontal antenna element. The wire antenna can include a second parasitic element substantially orthogonal to the first parasitic element. The second parasitic element can be adjacent to the first conductive surface and spaced at a second selected parasitic distance from the horizontal antenna element.
