Abstract
An improved coaxial-collinear antenna comprising a pair of continuous inner conductors each having a plurality of dielectric spacers mounted thereon for supporting a plurality of individual outer conductors in coaxial alignment with the continuous inner conductor. The outer conductors are equidistantly spaced along each continuous inner conductor by an amount substantially equal to the length of each outer conductor. The pair of continuous inner conductors are parallel, and the outer conductors mounted on each continuous inner conductor are electrically connected to the other continuous inner conductor between outer conductors consecutively mounted on that other inner conductor.
Claims15
An improved coaxial-collinear antenna comprising:
- a first continuous inner conductor having a first plurality of individual outer conductors aligned coaxially therewith, each said outer conductor in said first plurality of outer conductors being equidistantly spaced along said first continuous inner conductor by an amount substantially equal to the length of one of said outer conductors;
- and
- a second continuous inner conductor having a second plurality of individual outer conductors aligned coaxially therewith, each said outer conductor in said second plurality of outer conductors being equidistantly spaced along said second continuous inner conductor by an amount substantially equal to the length of one of said outer conductors;
- said first and second continuous inner conductors being parallel, each said outer conductor in said first plurality of outer conductors being electrically connected to said second continuous inner conductor between consecutively spaced outer conductors in said second plurality of outer conductors, each said outer conductor in said second plurality of outer conductors being electrically connected to said first continuous inner conductor between consecutively spaced outer conductors in said first plurality of outer conductors.
