A Low-Profile, Remote-Tuned Dipole Antenna for the 30 to 80 MHz Range.

Abstract

An experimental low-profile center-fed VHF dipole antenna, which is only one-tenth of a wavelength long, has been investigated. Despite its small height, which facilitates camouflage, a high efficiency-to-size ratio has been achieved. Communications were established over a distance of 34 km between a base station and a mobile unit equipped with the low-profile antenna. (Author)
