Abstract
Supporting conductors for loop antennas that are positioned within the principal H plane of the loop antennas and positioned diagonally with respect to the plane of the loops.
Claims9
A diagonal supporting conductor for an approximately coplanar loop antenna, such that:
- (a) said loop antenna is approximately symmetrical with respect to the principal H plane of said loop antenna;
- (b) said loop antenna is fed in an approximately balanced manner;
- (c) said loop antenna is fed at a point on said loop antenna that is approximately at said principal H plane;
- (d) said diagonal supporting conductor is electrically and mechanically connected from a supporting boom, mast or tower to a place on said loop antenna that is approximately at ground potential for the frequency of operation;
- (e) said diagonal supporting conductor is disposed diagonally with respect to the plane of said loop antenna;
- and
- (f) said diagonal supporting conductor is disposed so that said diagonal supporting conductor is substantially within said principal H plane of said loop antenna.
