Abstract
A radio antenna that includes top and base sections. An insulator is disposed between the sections. A device provides an electrical load between the sections. The transmission line assembly transparent to antenna radiation fields carries an electrical signal between the sections and the electrical load providing device that is in a mechanical and radiation efficient location.
Claims18
A radio antenna, comprising:
- top and base sections;
- an insulator disposed between said sections;
- and electrical load providing device being disposed away from said insulator by a distance sufficient to reduce wind loading effects, weight, structural and electrical complexity;
- and a transmission line having conductor lengths sufficient to extend between said insulator and said electrical load providing device.
