    摘要: A circularly polarized, omnidirectional, corporate-feed pylon antenna uses multiple helically-oriented dipoles in each bay, and includes a vertical and diagonal support arrangement of simple structural shapes configured to provide a frame strong enough to sustain mechanical top loads applied externally. The radiators in each bay fit within the vertical supports. The radiators are integrally formed with cross-braces, and are fed with manifold feed straps incorporating tuning paddles. A single cylindrical radome surrounds the radiative parts and the vertical supports. The antenna admits of application to the upper L-band at the full FCC-allowed ERP. Beam tilt, null fill, and vertical null can be readily accommodated.

    摘要: A vertically polarized traveling wave antenna is omnidirectional, bottom-mounted, and bottom-fed. A robust center coax provides a self-supporting mechanical structure. Multiple dipoles are capacitively coupled to the coax in quads, with a first two dipoles placed on opposite sides of the center coax and spaced by a quarter wavelength along the coax from the second two, which couple at right angles to the first two. This matched-layer spacing cancels the reactive components of the impedances of the dipoles. Beam tilt is readily incorporated over a wide range by adjusting layer spacing to add phase taper. All dipoles are oriented parallel to the coax axis, with opposite “hot” (center coupled) dipole elements oriented oppositely to each other. A radiated signal thus has rotating phase, when viewed from above, but is vertically polarized at each azimuth. A lightweight radome, provided for weather protection, is not needed for structural integrity.

    摘要: Each of a pair of antennas for broadcasting has multiple elements arranged vertically on the same tower. The antennas transmit circularly polarized signals of opposite polarization. The opposite circular polarization of the radiated signals increases their mutual isolation and permits broadcast of conventional FM-band signals and digital FM at the same frequency. The polarization technique allows the elements of the two antennas to share an aperture without degradation of function.

    摘要: An antenna includes conductive panels pierced with bow-tie-shaped cutouts (long axis vertical) fed at the narrow point of the cutout to achieve horizontal polarization. Each two panels are configured at right angles as an ‘X’ when viewed from above. The radiation pattern from each panel is a peanut shape; with a hybrid phase shifter to feed each pair in quadrature, the combined pattern is omnidirectional. Multiple crossed-cutout modules can be arranged vertically and fed in parallel to achieve high vertical directivity. The general design permits outdoor application with no supporting mast. The general design is compatible with the power capability and frequency range needed for commercial UHF television broadcast.

    摘要: A slotted coaxial antenna design that accomplishes four-way branch feeding without the use of feedlines, is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the antenna design is based on a number of layered coaxial feeds where each layer feeds the next outer layer. The internally branch fed slotted coaxial antenna design produces substantially no beam sway over at least four television channels, can accommodate pressurizing for increased power handling, and provides desirable antenna output response performance suitable for digital TV transmission and NTSC antenna systems.

    摘要: A digital signal, beam radiation antenna consisting of a cylindrical mast having an inner tubular conductor and an outer tubular conductor, and means for exciting said inner conductor to establish a traveling wave internal to said antenna. Moreover, there are spaced slots in said outer conductor defining an illumination aperture coupled to the inner conductor and for radiating the beam from the antenna. This establishes the illumination along the aperture so as to produce a high beam tilt of the order of 0.6-3.5 degrees from the horizontal for the beam radiation; further, for varying the phase from layer to layer, such that there are substantially no null variations in the elevation pattern of the beam.
