Abstract

See full text

A transmitting antenna having a lattice-type support structure is provided through the confines of which the transmission lines may be routed so that the supporting structure itself may serve as a screen, shielding the transmission lines from the radiated field, while permitting generation of a satisfactory radiation pattern. A transmitting antenna is provided having an electrically conductive supporting structure, a plurality of radiating elements, and a plurality of antenna excitation conductors. The electrically conductive support structure includes a plurality of vertical support members connected to adjacent vertical support members by a plurality of horizontal support members. The radiating elements are affixed to the electrically conductive supporting structure and extend outwardly therefrom. The antenna excitation conductors carry excitation energy to the radiating elements, and are positioned within the electrically conductive supporting structure, thereby allowing the supporting structure to serve as a screen, shielding the transmission lines from the radiated field.
