ELLIPTICALLY POLARIZED ANTENNA Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: radio engineering; ultrahigh- and very-high-frequency antennas for various radio systems. SUBSTANCE: antenna has loop radiator made in the form of tubular ring and half-wave dipole both mounted above, and in parallel with, metal screen, first coaxial connector placed on opposite side of metal screen coaxially with loop radiator. Balancing and matching devices of half-wave dipole are, essentially, extensions of first coaxial connector. Loop radiator is mounted on metal screen by means of metal post placed in diametric opposition to gap and insulating post; Mounted under gap coaxially with tubular ring on opposite side of metal screen is second coaxial connector so that tubular post is, essentially, its extension. Coaxial T-joint also provided on opposite side of metal screen has its outlet arms joined to first and second coaxial connectors. EFFECT: provision for radiation into front half-space. 3 dwg
