Multiband whip antenna |
摘要 |
A multi-band whip antenna having a 30 MHz to 2 GHz bandwidth and an L-band dipole has its coverage extended up to 6 GHz by eliminating nulls and reducing VSWR problems that are cured through the utilization of a sleeve over the feedpoint of the L-band antenna. Chokes in the form of sleeves are provided at either end of the L-band dipole to shorten the L-band antenna for preventing reverse polarity currents at the L-band antenna feedpoint, with the antenna further including the use of double shielded meanderline to provide improved performance between 410-512 MHz and in which a capacitance sleeve is added at the bottom of the L-band antenna to effectively elongate the antenna below the L-band to permit operation below 700 MHz. |

1. A multiband whip antenna comprising
a coaxial line feed running through a plurality of tubular sections to an L-band dipole having a feedpoint, wherein the L-band dipole is configured to increase the bandwidth of the multiband whip antenna 6 GHz; a double shielded meanderline structure comprising a right hand side and a left hand side, said left hand side being a mirror image of said right hand side, said right hand side having a meanderline structure folded back on itself a number of times, with the top portion of the folded structure extending over the top to the mirror image of the folded shielded meanderline, such that there is a continuous meanderline folded structure from the right hand side to the left hand side; and a sleeve surrounding the L-band feedpoint configured to minimize reverse polarity currents at the L-band feedpoint. |
