WIDE-BAND PHASED ANTENNA ARRAY Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: television signal reception. SUBSTANCE: antenna array has cophasal system of antenna sections built of rhombic dipoles and band-extending dipoles connected to output of rhombic ones and integrated into single system with aid of antenna-feeder device that functions to transfer signal energy to common matched load. This system is assembled of antenna sections made as dipoledipole combination using parallel circuit arrangement to extend its passband. Provision is made for varying polarization of dipoles depending on their type. Relatively simple design and adequate characteristics of antenna array makes it competitive. EFFECT: enhanced gain of antenna array. 1 cl, 1 dwg
