Foreshortened antenna structures

摘要

The foreshortened dipoles of the antenna described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,732,572 are further substantially shortened with a new construction in which each radiating element comprises two portions. A planar rectangular body electrically connects to the feed point by a stem portion which attaches to the rectangular body at the farthest point from the feed point and is spaced slightly from the plane of the body to electrically isolate the two portions.
