14 Claims.
This invention relates to antennas, and particularly to an antenna for broadcasting horizontally polarized waves uniformly in all horizontal directions.
In broadcasting at extremely short wave lengths, such as when using television, it is desirable to use horizontally polarized Waves. 1t is also required, in such case, that radiation be substantially equal in all horizontal directions. These desiderata cannot be achieved by using the well known simple horizontal linear radiator which produces a radiation pattern in the form of a gure 8. A small loop antenna is also undesirable because it gives poor efficiency and low latitudinal concentration, although it does give equal radiation in all horizontal directions.
The present invention provides a highly desirable type of antenn-a which makes possible substantially equal radiation in the horizontal plane with considerable latitudinal concentration.
I have found that for a horizontal circular loop with a given current, the field strength of the radiated wave in a horizontal direction is proportional to the irst order Bessel function of the first kind J1(21ra/A) with the argument (21a/) wher-e a is the radius and A the wavelength. The eld is therefore a maximum when J1(21ra/}\) is a maximum or minimum. The invention is based on an understanding of this principle, and em- 30 ploys one or more concentric horizontal loops having radii which are maxima or minima of the function J1 21ra/ According to one embodiment of the invention, there is employed an array of concentric loops 35 broken up by series condensers, the radii of these loops corresponding to maximums and minimums of the first order Bessel function of the first kind J1(21ra/ successive radii having lengths approximately equal to 0.29, 0.85, 1.36, 1.86 etc., wavelengths. Condensers are employed at proper intervals in the loop to provide uniform current distribution. Adjacent loops are energized in phase opposition.
A better understanding of the inventionmay be had by referring to the following detailed description which is accompanied by drawing, wherein:
Figs. 1 to 6, inclusive, illustrate different embodiments of the invention.
Fig. 1 shows a single radiator consisting of a single turn horizontal loop I with four or more series condensers c, c and having a radius equal to 0.29 wavelength, the rst maximum of the first order Bessel function above named. Conu densers c, c partially tune the self inductance (Cl. Z50- 33) of the loop and enable the current in different parts of loop I to be in phase and of nearly equal amplitude. The lengths of the wire sections between condensers are made not greater than onehalf Wavelength. wire sections may be made not to exceed onequarter wavelength in order to obtain substantially equal currents at all points.
Fig. 2 shows an array of concentric loops I, I', l in the same horizontal plane, having radii respectively, of 0.29, 0.85 and 1.36 wavelengths. These radii are of such values as to make the Bessel function of the rst kind, i. e., J1(21ra/)\) a maximum or a minimum. Successive loops are energized in phase opposition, as shown, and thus produce a system which gives a considerab-le increase in lattudinal concentration of radiation over that of Fig. l. The spacings between radiator loops give maximum ield strength of the radiated wave in all horizontal directions.
Fig. 3 shows several single loops of the type shown in Fig. 1, placed one above the other in pancake style and energized cophasally in order to obtain greater concentration of radiation latitudinally. If desired, several of the arrays shown in Fig. 2 may be arranged in the same manner. These loops are spaced ordinarily at least onehalf wavelength apart.
Fig. 4 shows a modification where the circular loop is broken up into several distinct radiating elements 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, each energized by a separate feed line I5. Fig. 5 is a further modification Wherein distinct radiating elements 1, 8, 9, I0 and Il around a circle are connected in series through folded line sections I2 of proper length to give approximately uniform current in the same direction around the circle in all radiating elements. In these two figures the radii of the loops should be in accordance with the principles hereinabove set forth for best operation. In each of the cases of Figs. 4 and 5 in the manner shown in the drawing, the length of each radiating element should in no case exceed onehalf wave, irrespective of the length of the radius, in order to prevent phase reversal of the current.. in a. radiator.
Fig. 6 shows a still further embodiment disclosing still another way of feeding separated radiating elements I6, I1, I8, I9, 20, 2l, 22, 23, 24, and 25. Here also each of these elements should not be greater than one-half wavelength.
If desired, arrays of systems like Figs. 4, 5 and 6 may be stacked one above the other in the same manner as shown in Fig.` 3. It is evident that If desired, the lengths of the where a suflcient number of radiating elements u like those shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are employed, the individual elements may be straight instead of curved and thus the loop will depart from a true circle. In the systems of Figs. 4, 5 and 6 it is important that the currents in al1 the radiating elements travel along the circle in the same direction. The instantaneous polarities indicated on these figures indicate one manner in which these elements should be energized to effect this result. If the radius of the circle in the systems of Figs. 4, 5 and 6 is substantially 0.29 wavelength, then it is preferred that there be four separated radiating elements. If the radius of the circle is 0.85 wavelength, it is preferred that there be eleven separated radiating elements, and in the case of a radius of 1.36 wavelengths it is preferred that the number of elements be eighteen. These numbers are preferred because they give the smallest number of radiating elements possible for a particular radius without producing a current reversal in the elements.
In the case of Fig. 5, assuming that the radiating elements are of the same length, a condition most practical and preferably to be used in all of the systems shown in Figs. 1 6, inclusive, then the electrical length of any one U section of line between radiating elements should be equal to one wavelength minus the length of a radiating element.
It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements shown and described, since various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the invention may be used to obtain uniform radiation in all directions in the plane of the loop regardless of the angle of the loop with respect to the horizontal. Of course, it will be appreciated that the principles of the invention are equally applicable to receiving antennae and that the invention is not limited solely to transmitting systems.
It should also be understood that the term "1oop used in the appended claims is deemed to include either one continuous electrical connection, as shown in Figs. l, 3 and 5, or a plurality of spaced elements arranged around a circle and whose adjacent ends are insulated from one another, as shown in Figs. 4 and 6.
