Abstract
An orientation independent antenna apparatus using a six sided conductive structure and triangular elements on a selected surface thereof, to provide both horizontal and vertical polarization mode feeds. In one implementation, a vertical coupling element is disposed within the structure so that four perpendicular surfaces are parasitically coupled to provide the vertical polarization mode. In other implementations, coaxial cable(s) may be used with a ferrite core and/or combiner circuits to provide the horizontal mode feed.
