Abstract
An omnidirectional antenna for TV reception and the like has a dielectric semi-circular frame with a central aperture in the diametral portion and a succession of equally spaced notches in the circumferential arc around which a plurality of loops of a continuous length of twin-lead wire are coiled in a substantially random sequence, yielding advantages superior in more than one respect to conventional "rabbit ears" type antenna.
Claims6
In an antenna having a frame, including means for holding the frame upright and wire coiled on the frame, the improvement comprising:
- said wire being flat twin-lead conductor, said frame being of dielectric material in semi-circular shape, and the wire coiling forming a plurality of similar-size and similar configuration loops with each loop passing around a central lower portion of the semicircular shape and then around a respective one of a plurality of equally spaced locations on the circular periphery of the frame.
