HAN SELL, OF PORT JEFFERSON, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR T0 RADIO CORPO- RATION OF AMERICA, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE ULTRA SHORT WAVE ANTENNA SYSTEM Application filed July 21,
This invention relates to antennae and especially towards the provision of an ultra short wave antennae utilizing the directive properties of a parabolic reflector.
Although parabolic reflectors have been used in combination with antennae, the combination is directive mainly in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the reflector. To improve the directive characteristic of the system in a direction along the axis of the reflector, is one of the objects of my present invention and this I do by utilizing in combination with a reflector a linear conductor, radiant action along alternate half wave length portions of which is suppressed. In this manner, each of the working portions of the conductor, one-half wave length long carry currents of like phase, which tend to concentrate electromagnetic Wave action in a direction along the axis of the reflector.
Still a further object of my invention is to provide a simple support for the conductor within the reflector and this I do by supporting the conductor with insulators directly on the reflector.
Although I have defined my invention with particularity in the appended claims, the invention itself both as to its structural organization and mode of operation may best be understood by referring to the accompanying drawing which is given by way of illustration only of the features of my invention.
Turning to the drawing, I provide the combination of ametallic reflector 2 with a conductor 4 folded upon itself in U-shaped loops 6 at alternate half wave lengths. The portions 8 of the conductor parallel to the longitudinal axis of the reflector 2 constitute the active portion of the conductor for electromagnetic wave transmission or reception. The portions 8 will carry currents in phase, as they constitute alternate half wave lengths of the conductor 4, and will increase the directivity of the system along the longitudinal axis of the reflector 2.
The loops 6, being folded upon themselves will be substantially non-active with respect to electromagnetic waves. Coupling may be established to the conductor 4 through an in- 1930. Serial No. 469,415.
termediate loop by means of suitable leads 10 leading to radio apparatus 12 either transmitting or receiving.
In order to provide for the simple support of the radiating element or conductor 4' within the reflector 2, insulators 14 suitably mounted within the reflector are provided through which the loops 6 pass. Although the active portions of the radiator 4 should be placed one-quarter wave parabolic reflector 2 for best theoretical action, in practice, the spacing is not critical. Consequently any variation therefrom such as may be caused by passing the half wave length loops 6 through the insulators 14, does not affect, too adversely the action of the ultra short wave antenna system described. It is only necessary that the radiators 8 be close to the focal point fleeting action.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In combination, a conductor, a plurality of wave lengths long having U-shaped loops one-half wave length long at wave lengths thereof, and a parabolic reflector, associated with and insulated from said conductor, for rendering electromagnetic action of the conductor substantially undirectional, said reflector being constructed at cer tain portions thereof to receive the U-shaped loops for supporting said conductor.
2. In combination, a linear conductor, having U-shaped loops one-half wave length long at alternate half wave lengths along the axisof the conductor, and, a parabolic reflector associated therewith and constructed to hold the conductor in fixed relation with respect to said reflector, the loops of the conductor being arranged to support the conductor on the parabolic reflector.
3. In combination, a linear conductor having U-shaped loops one-half wave length long at alternate half wave lengths along the axis of the conductor, and, a parabolic reflector associated therewith and constructed to hold the conductor in fixed relation with respect to said reflector by means of insulators mounted in the reflector, the loops of said conlength from the alternate halfof the reflector for good re- M 77 a 4.
