A HIGH-GAIN STACKED-V ANTENNA WITH SLOTTED-WAVE-GUIDE FEED,
Abstract
A description is presented of a high-gain directional antenna which is formed by stacking wire V antennas one above the other. When fed from a slotted-ring structure it is possible to excite 18 V's from a single coaxial feed point. The slotted-ring structure allows the v's to be fed essentially in phase and at the same time reduces the back radiation. Pattern characteristics are shown for a model which can be scaled to give a gain of approximately 24 db above a dipole at 30 mc. A design is described in which the V's are supported between 3 guyed towers. The antenna radiates horizontally polarized waves from an aperture of approximately 1 acre. (Author)
