OMNIDIRECTIONAL ANTENNA Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: radio engineering; microwave broadcasting engineering. SUBSTANCE: omnidirectional antenna has horizontal round metal loop whose dimensions are comparable with operating wavelength; reactance components made of conductors bent to form meanders are inserted in open circuits of loop spaced from power supply at distances corresponding to angles of 45, 235, 225, and 315 deg. ; maximal linear cross-sectional dimension of meander conductor is lower by 5 to 10 times than that of loop conductor. Loop components are electrically interconnected for static current drain. EFFECT: simplified design of reactance components. 3 dwg
