摘要 |
The invention is a low profile antenna array 10, particularly beneficial for AM broadcasting stations, which dramatically reduces the height of the antenna. The antenna array 10 is constructed of at least two conductors 12 oriented horizontally or sloping slightly up and extending away from a center location where they have upright sections 18 extending above the ground plane 14 by as little as. 01 wavelength. The individual conductors are each approximately one-quarter wavelength long. The multiple conductors of the antenna array 10 are each fed by impedance matching sections 19 to achieve high individual impedances, which when connected in parallel can be made to match any desired impedance with dimensional changes.
