ELLIPTICALLY POLARIZED ANTENNA Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: antenna engineering; antennas for communication systems. SUBSTANCE: antenna that has wire turn 1 placed above metal screen 2 in parallel with its plane is provided, in addition, with capacitors 3 inserted in wire turn 1 and spaced through distance T apart. Capacitor value C equals , where ω is circular frequency; k = 2π/λ is wave number; W is wave impedance; n = L_a/λ, L_a is wire turn length; λ is wavelength; T < 0,1λ. Antenna is excited by coaxial cable 4 from one end of wire turn 1 whose other end is connected to metal screen 2 of matched load 5. EFFECT: enhanced antenna gain with wire turn distance from metal screen being much shorter than wavelength. 1 dwg
