RUGGED GAS TUBE RF CELLULAR ANTENNA

摘要

A rugged telephone antenna device (70) for transmitting a short pulse durati on signal of predetermined radio frequency that eliminates a trailing antenna resonance signal. The device includes a flexible or protected gas filled tub e (74); a voltage source for developing an electrically conductive path along a length of the tube corresponding to a resonant wavelength multiple of the predetermined radio frequency; and a signal transmission source coupled to t he tube for supplying a radio frequency signal to the conductive path for anten na transmission. A method for transmitting a short pulse signal without a trailing residual signal is also provided.
