Abstract
A compact digital television antenna having a pair of high band VHF triangular shaped dipoles with VHF signal outputs connected to a pair of terminals. A UHF reflector mounted to a bracket. Each VHF dipole having an outer linear portion connected to the bracket. The outer linear portions of the VHF dipoles forming opposing outer unitary type reflector elements in the UHF reflector. A V-shaped UHF antenna having its UHF signal outputs connected to the terminals. The pair of triangular shaped VHF dipoles forming a pyramidal support holding the UHF antenna at a fixed depth from the UHF reflector.
Claims19
A compact digital television antenna comprising in combination:
- a support bracket;
- an ultrahigh frequency reflector connected to said support bracket;
- an insulator;
- a pair of terminals spaced apart on said insulator;
- a high band very high frequency antenna having a pair of substantially triangular shaped very high frequency dipoles, each of said pair of very high frequency dipoles having sides terminating in a pair of very high frequency signal outputs, said pair of very high frequency signal outputs connected to said pair of terminals, each of said pair of very high frequency dipoles having an outer linear portion opposite said pair of very high frequency signal outputs and connected to said support bracket, said outer linear portions of said pair of very high frequency dipoles forming opposing outer unitary reflector elements of said ultrahigh frequency reflector on said support bracket, said pair of very high frequency dipoles spaced apart at a set angle by said outer linear portions connected to said support bracket to hold said pair of terminals a fixed depth from said ultrahigh frequency reflector;
- an ultrahigh frequency antenna, said ultrahigh frequency antenna having a pair of ultrahigh frequency signal outputs connected to said pair of terminals, said ultrahigh frequency antenna held at said fixed depth from said ultrahigh frequency reflector by said very high frequency antenna.
A compact digital television antenna comprising:
- an elongated support bracket;
- an ultrahigh frequency reflector connected to said elongated support bracket, said ultrahigh frequency reflector having a plurality of reflector dipole type elements connected to said elongated support bracket;
- an insulator;
- a pair of terminals spaced apart on said insulator;
- a high band very high frequency antenna having a pair of very high frequency dipoles, each of said pair of very high frequency dipoles having sides terminating in a pair of very high frequency signal outputs, said pair of very high frequency signal outputs connected to said pair of terminals, each of said pair of very high frequency dipoles having an outer linear portion opposite said pair of very high frequency signal outputs and connected to said support bracket, said outer linear portions of said pair of very high frequency dipoles forming opposing outer unitary reflector type elements of said ultrahigh frequency reflector on said support bracket, said pair of very high frequency dipoles spaced apart at a set angle by said outer linear portions connected to said support bracket to hold said pair of terminals a fixed depth from said ultrahigh frequency reflector;
- each of said plurality of reflector dipole type elements and each of said opposing outer reflector unitary type elements parallel and equally spaced from each other on said elongated support bracket;
- an ultrahigh frequency antenna, said ultrahigh frequency antenna having a pair of ultrahigh frequency signal outputs connected to said pair of terminals, said pair of very high frequency dipoles forming a substantially pyramidal mount from said support bracket to said pair of terminals on said insulator to hold said ultrahigh frequency antenna said fixed depth from said ultrahigh frequency reflector.
