A still further object of the invention is to provide an antenna of sturdy construction, low wind resistance and easy mounting.
The invention provides an antenna consisting of a plurality of dipoles having parallel axes disposed in 'a common plane with the centers of the dipoles defining a straight line, the spacing between adjacent dipoles being less than one-tenth of a wavelength at the highest operating frequency, the length of the dipoles increasing from pair to pair, and all dipole elements on one side of said straight line being serially connected thus forming a meandering conducting path, the dipole elements on the other side of said straight line being similarly connected and the terminals of the last longest dipole being short circuited whereby a single continuous conducting path is formed leading from one input terminal of the antenna through all dipole elements to the other input terminal of the antenna.
The series connection of all dipole elements on each side enables the elements to operate simultaneously in two electromagnetic modes-firstly in a radiating or antenna mode,'andsecondly in an essentially non-radiating transmission line mode. The combination and control of the radiating mode and the transmission line mode on the serially connected dipole elements'make it possible to obtain'high directivity, high gain, favourable radiation patterns and a useful feed point impedance over a wide frequency. range or over several distinct frequency bands.
The objective of obtaining high directivity, high gain and.
a useful feed point impedance requires that the length of the shortest dipoles be approximately equal to a hal wavelength at the highest operating frequency, so that the transmission line stub consisting of adjacent elements of the shortest dipole pair is about a quarter-wave long and has a high input impedance.
An antenna according to the invention may mechanically consist of several parts connected conductively to form a meandering conductive path, or may consist of a single wire orrod bent to form a meandering path in accordance. with the invention.
stood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. 1 shows schematically the fundamental type of an antenna acording to the invention.

FIGURE 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the improvements of the present invention.
FIGURE 8 shows an antenna similar to FIGURE 4 combined with a screen or reflectors.
FIG. 1 shows the fundamental type of antenna according to the invention. It consists of three pairs of dipoles with elements connected serially so that a continuous meandering conductive path is obtained between the terminals A and B, namely, A-l-S-S-7-9-11-10-8-6-4-2-B, the length of the dipoles increasing from pair to pair, 1, 2, 3, 4 being the shortest elements, 9, l0, and halves of 11 being the longest elements. M is the neutral-potential point of the antenna and may be grounded. All said dipole elements perform a double operation-as radiators, and as conductors of transmission line stubs. Elements on opposite sides of the straight line connecting centers of the dipoles, as for instance 1 and 2, or 3 and 4, or 9 and It or 11, act as dipoles. Adjacent elements as, for instance,
1-3, or 3-5, or 9 and part of 11 on the left side of M,
act as transmission line stubs. Straight elements inside the antenna belong substantially to three circuits; for instance, element 3 is part of the dipole 3-4, part of the stub 1-3, and part of the stub 3-5. The multiple operation of the antenna elements represents amultitude of adjustable antenna parameters. The frequency range, particularly, is determined by the length of dipole elements. Variation in the spacing of adjacent elements and variation of element diameters have only a small influence on the antenna mode and a limited influence on the transmission line mode.
The antenna, FIGURE 2 is derived from FIG. 1 by leaving the terminals of the last longest dipole 11, opencircuited at the center M. This variant, FIG. 2, comprises the same transmission line stubs as thefundamental antenna form of FIG. 1 from which it is obtained by opening the last longest dipole at the center M. "An antenna according to FIG. 2 has the same, radiating elements and the same transmission line stubs as an antenna of the same, 'geornetry but with short-circuited terminals M of the last longest dipole of FIG. 1. It has similar qualities to the fundamental antenna with some quantitative variations as, e.g.,changed frequency bands.
The antenna, FIG. 3, can be derived from FIGUREI by removing element ll. The variant of FIG. 3 has one radiating dipole and two transmission line stubs less than the corresponding fundamental antenna of FIG. 1-, from I which it is derived. Due to the remaining configuration similar in principle to FIG. 1, the variant of FIG. 3 exhibits similar qualities to the fundamental antenna,
'FIG..1.
FIGURE 4 shows an example of an antenna of type FIGURE 1. The antenna consists of straight tubular conductors, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7-8, joined by coupling members such as conductive strips 13, 35, 57, 63, 46, and 24, so that a meandering conductive path in accordance with the invention is obtained. The antenna can be used in two distinct frequency ranges. Excellent performance is obtained when the longer folded. dipole 5-7-8-6 represents a three-half-wave dipole at frequencies where 1-2 and 3-4 operate as half-wave dipoles. At about one-third of this frequency 5-7-8-6 operates as folded half-wave dipole.
I In an actual television receiving antenna for the frequency bands 63 to 70 megacycles and 181 to 202 megacycles of a construction similar to FIGURE 4, according to the invention, the following dimensions were used:
. Inches Length of sections 1, 2, 3, 4 13 /2 Length of sections 5 and 6 40% Length of section 7-8 82 Axial separationbetween adjacent sections, that is. between 1 and 3, between 3 and 5, and between S and.7 2/2 Total width of antenna, that is separation between axes of sections It and 7 7 /2 7 All the sections 1 to 7-8 are of aluminum tubing of /2 inch or inch outer diameter.
built also of a single rod or tubular conductor bent to the meandering form indicated by A--l3-S-786-4 2-B.'
" In the lower frequency band, part 5-786 operates like The antennacan be In the higherfrequency bandtlSl-to 202 megacyclcs) the part 5-7-8-6 operates as a folded tlneehalf-Wave dipole, and the part 1-3-4-2 as a folded half-wavedipole The radiation pattern inthe plane ofthe antenna, measured at frequencies near the centre-of the higher fre- Em, is 'greater'than the backward-maximum, Eb. The
' front-to-back ratio, Em/Eb, for an actual antenna as described above'in connection WithFlGURE 4, is. about' i 2 or more. 7 frequency of the higher frequency range (181jto 202 At frequencies near the'lowest and highest megacycles), somesmall side-lobes will appear in the radiation pattern, FIGURE 5.
I I To appreciate fully the merits of an antenna incorpo-- rating the invention, the properties; of a known antenna type indicated in FIGURE 6, maybe described. This The forward-maximum,
H on section 5, FIGURE 4. Similarly, phase reversal is obtained between strip 24 and point I on section 6. The quarter-wave stubs 1-3 and 2-4 have also to secure a phase reversal with respect to the driving voltage across A-B as at the input of the folded fthree-quarter-wave dipole 5-78t5 driving voltage of opposite polarity as required.
The theory of antennas consisting of serially connected dipole elements in accordance with theinvention has not yet been fully developed. Howevenlt is believed that distribution of radiating or antenna currents takes place approximately as indicated in FIGURE 7. Currents 12 and 34 in dipoles 1-2 and 3-4 respectively, have the same direction as currents 55,77, 66 and 88, in the outer thirds of dipoles 5%? and 7-8; currents 56 and 73 in the middle thirds of the dipoles 56:and "7-8 have the-opposite direction. Current 34 neutralizes current 56, and
current 78 acts like current in a reflector with respect to quency range consists substantially of two narrow lobes, asindicated in diagram, FIGURE 5. The forward-lobe "F has a field intensity maximum, Em, in the z direction; The backward-lobe, B in FlGURE 5,has a maximum of Pb, in direction opposite to z.
dipole 1-2.,that is the central part of the antenna acts like an endfire array, and this accounts for directivity in direction z as expressed in the radiationpattern, FIG- URES. The relativenarrowness of the -'forward-lobe and backward-lobe and the highergain are due to the-colinear arrangement of CurrentdistributionsSS and 66,
177 and 88, and the nearly co-linear end-fire arrangement of currents l2 and 73, FIGURE 7.
The input impedance'of an antenna as represented in FlGURE 4 matches satisfactorily to a feeder of 300 ohm characteristic impedancel It is {quite obvious that at lower irequenciesthe feed point impedance' will match the feeder because the antenna operates substantially. as a foldedhalf-wave dipolewith a moderate inductive loadingat the feedpointf Satisfactory matching is obtainable also in the higher frequency range.- Experiments with an antenna Whose dimensions have been given abovein connection with conventional type consists of a three-half-wave dipole n n, and an adjacent passive half-wave elementp, as
: described'by F.:A. Kolster, AntennaDesignforTelevi-' jsion and-RM; Reception,.Proceedings'of the Institute of Radio Engineers, 'volume36, pages 1242-1248;.Octoberv 1948. The current distribution indicated bymm, mn, nn,
same direction, but current mn has the'opposite direction;
The operation of an antenna, FIGURE 4, incorporatingthe invention, is considerably more involved. In the higher frequency range, the part 134 -2 represents a folded half wave dipole with element 3-4 loaded at the centre witha folded three-half-Wave dipole 5-7-86. The quarter-wave stubs 1-3 and 2-4, and the threequarter-wave stubs 5-7 and 6-8 have a broadbanding effect encountered in folded dipoles. Section 3 together wit h'the adjacent part of section 5 operate as a phasereversing quarter-wave stub, that is phase reversal takes place between strip lfi the end ofsectiofn 3-and point FIGURE 4, showed a voltage standing-wave ratio of about 1.5 at the lowest and highest frequency of the higher frequency range; :a'txthese boundary frequencies of the rangethe antenna impedance-had only a small reactive component. The-matchingxis noticeably better than with ,a conventionally tolerated standing-wave'ratio of 2-Ifor good television-reception; If an antenna is requiredfor three, frequency bands; three pairs of dipoles should be used, thatis, a configuration similar to FIG. 1.
