A vertical whip may be placed affixed vertically to the disc in order to extend the low frequency response, but this may reduce efficiency at higher frequencies. In this configuration, at lower frequencies the discone may more closely resemble a ground plane antenna or a coaxial dipole.

Famous quotes containing the words extending and/or response:
“The radiance was that of the full, setting, and blood-red moon, which now shone vividly through that once barely- discernible fissure,... extending from the roof of the building, in a zigzag direction, to the base. While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened.”
