摘要:
A double dipole tuned antenna is presented having the capability to enhance the television reception, particularly on VHF frequencies. The antenna has an outer, longer diverging dipole antenna connected near its midsection to an inner, shorter, parallel diverging dipole. Also connected to the inner dipole is a large helical coil and a smaller helical coil. A capacitor is placed in parallel across opposite ends of the smaller helical coil in order to tune the device. The device is particularly useful for tuning VHF frequencies although it is also useful in tuning UHF frequencies.

The invention is to a gamma matching antenna in which a motor driven shunt is used to adjust the gamma match feed line. The shunt is movable along the antenna driven element and the gamma march rod on brushes or rollers that are in good electrical contact with the gamma rod and driven element, and allows the shunt to move along both element without binding. A control circuit moves the shunt in response to, and to minimize the SWR of the antenna.

A system for switching an antenna formed of multiple connected segments is set forth. The various segments are connected together by a switch means having, in the preferred embodiment, one or more FETs; a gate controlled terminal is connected with a bias circuit which is biased on or off by a bias circuit triggered to switch by light. The light is coupled through an optical fiber which directs light onto a portion of the bias circuit to cause operation. The bias circuit preferably includes a photo voltaic cell.

An electrically short antenna for transmitting or receiving radiation has first and second electrode forming a capacitor radiator. The antenna is short in the sense that the gap distance between the electrodes and the dimension of the electrodes themselves sum to less than .lambda./4. An inductor has one end thereof coupled to one of the first and second electrodes via a first wire, and the other of the electrodes is connected to ground via a second wire. The antenna includes structure for inhibiting transmission or reception of electromagnetic energy of wavelength .lambda. from first and second wires so that transmission or reception of electromagnetic energy primarily emanates from said electrode surfaces.

摘要:
An antenna matching network for matching a citizens band radio transceiver to a standard automotive whip or windshield antenna utilizes a matching section for matching the nominal 50 ohm output of the citizens band transceiver to the generally lower impedance of the automotive antenna. A trap tuned to the citizens band prevents the output of the citizens band transmitter from damaging the automotive broadcast receiver when transmitting. The matching section is tunable over a sufficient range to match the citizens band transceiver to most automotive antennas, and a dual sensitivity indicator is utilized to aid the operator in tuning the matching network to provide optimum matching without the use of specialized equipment.

A loading coil connects between an antenna and ground and has an intermediate feed point. A conductive member opposes at least several turns of the loading coil and is disposed in distributed capacitive relationship therewith. The conductive member and coil are separated by a dielectric member. The conductive member is preferably movable with respect to the coil to change the resonant frequency of the antenna and may be a conductive ring or disk axially shiftable with respect to the coil or a vane pivotable with respect to such coil. In one embodiment, the conductive member is fixed and the dielectric member, having a dielectric constant different from air, is shiftable to change the distributed capacitance of the conductive member and coil and hence the resonant frequency of the antenna apparatus.
摘要:
A miniaturized antenna having high radiation efficiency consists essentially of an open circuit transmission line top-loading a short monopole over a metal ground plane. The currents in the two sides of the transmission line, being oppositely directed, tend to cancel each other''s effect in the distant field. Thus, only the short vertical monopole contributes to the distant field radiation. The omnidirectional monopole is a constant current radiating element operating at near RF ground potential (high current, low impedance).
