Tuning circuit for edge-loaded nested resonant radiators that provides switching among several wide frequency bands

Abstract

An improved tuning method is used in conjunction with a set of nested electrically conducting cones to increase the frequency band over which the resulting radiating system functions as an electrically small antenna with controlled variation in input impedance. This technique enables switching of the frequency band by means of simple circuits that can be activated by a control voltage.
