LOOP ANTENNA Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: communication equipment. SUBSTANCE: loop antenna that functions to ensure reliable communications at frequencies higher than 30 MHz beyond direct visibility has reflector, dipole, and directors mounted on common rod; they are all electrically insulated from each other and each loop element has L-shunts within respective inner planes. L-shunts function to afford balancing and matching; reflector, dipole, and directors are made in the form of grouped and interconnected antenna pairs; in addition, reflector of each loop element has long lines for in-phase connection of center taps of L-shunts to current antinode sections; loop elements are connected in series in dipole and in parallel, in reflector and directors. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of communications at high frequencies. 4 dwg
