The article is discussing the final design of a VHF communication antenna integrated in a composite winglet of the EV-55 small transport aircraft. The antenna is designed to operate in the VHF band reserved for civil aviation, 117.975 – 137 MHz with optimal VSWR below 2.5. Compared with a standard vertically polarized monopole antenna, the radiation pattern in the horizontal plane shall not be down more than 6 dB and vary more than 6 dB [2].
