    摘要: An antenna capable of being joined to an antenna feed perpendicular to a ground plane includes a conductive radiator and a cylindrical shell. The conductive radiator is tubular and has a longitudinal slot along the entire length thereof. The slot is parallel to the radiator's axis. The antenna feed can be connected across the slot. A cylindrical shell of a uniaxial dielectric material is provided outside and spaced apart from the conductive radiator and extends beyond ends of the conductive radiator. The cylindrical shell electrically contacts the ground plane. The shell is made from a material having a dielectric tensor with high impedance in the axial direction. This antenna gives enhanced bandwidth over ordinary slotted antennas. The shell can be applied to preexisting antennas.

    摘要: An antenna includes a tubular, conductive radiator having a longitudinal slot formed therein from a first end of the conductive radiator to a second end of the conductive radiator. An antenna feed can be joined to the conductive radiator adjacent to and across the slot. An anisotropic plate is positioned a uniform distance from the conductive radiator, centered above the slot. The plate extends beyond the length of the radiator and is electrically insulated therefrom. An anisotropic tube surrounds the plate and radiator. The anisotropic tube is electrically insulated from the plate and radiator. In use, this antenna gives enhanced bandwidth over ordinary slotted antennas. This can also be applied to preexisting slotted antennas for enhanced bandwidth.

    摘要: A buoyant cable antenna system includes an HF antenna section connected to an outboard end of a VLF/LF antenna. With respect to the HF antenna, the VLF/LF appears to be a standard coaxial cable so that the HF antenna can be configured as desired for HF antenna operation. The VLF/LF antenna is comprised of a segment of coaxial cable. The inboard end of the braided outer conductor of the segment of coaxial cable is connected to ground through a capacitor so that the VLF/LF signals are effectively isolated from ground. In this way, VLF/LF currents are induced on the outer braided conductor of the segment of coaxial cable to thereby operate as the VLF/LF antenna.

    摘要: A dual mode antenna can be joined to an antenna feed. The antenna includes a slotted cylinder radiator that can be connected to the first conductor of the antenna feed and an electrically conductive ground plane that can be connected to the second conductor. The radiator axially extends perpendicularly from the ground plane and is electrically insulated therefrom. The first conductor can be joined to the radiator near one side of the slot. A reactive load is joined between the ground plane and the radiator near an opposite side of the slot. The reactive load impedes lower frequencies from the ground plane to the radiator. This allows the radiator to function as a monopole at lower frequencies and a slotted cylinder at higher frequencies.

    摘要: An antenna for connection to a feed includes a substrate with a conductive ground plane. An emitter is positioned on the top face of the substrate, and the feed is connected to the emitter and ground plane. A spacer is positioned on the substrate above the emitter and one layer of high dielectric constant rods is positioned above the spacer. The rods are positioned in a single plane, coplanar with the emitter, and parallel to the dominant current distribution when the emitter is active. Further layers of spacers and rods can be positioned at a predetermined angle to the rods beneath. A kit is further provided for application of spacers and rods to preexisting antennas.

    摘要: An antenna can be joined to an antenna feed and positioned perpendicular to a ground plane. The antenna includes a conductive radiator having a cylindrical portion. A slot is formed in the entire length of the cylindrical portion. Two parallel fins extend from the cylindrical portion at the slot. The fins can extend inwardly or outwardly. The antenna feed is connected to the conductive radiator on either side of the slot. An anisotropic magnetic material having a uniaxial permeability tensor is positioned in the slot between the two fins. This material is oriented such that it has a much greater permeability in the radial direction than in the other directions. The interior of the cylindrical portion can be filled with a dielectric material.
