Abstract:

A broadband H.F. directional sky-wave antenna system comprises a plurality of interconnected, vertical, zig-zag, antenna sections of predetermined increasing height. A counterpoise is utilized to balance the antenna. Power is coupled to the shortest zig-zag section via an impedance matching transformer. A resistance is used to terminate the antennas in its characteristic impedance. Patent Applications
