Abstract

See full text

An end-fed sleeve dipole is provided herein with improved impedance match and increased bandwidth by incorporating a ¾-wavelength transformer in the antenna design. The ¾-wavelength transformer is compatible with a number of different choking schemes, including but not limited to, a single ¼-wave choke sleeve, a single ¼-wave choke sleeve with additional ferrite beads, and two or more ¼-wave choke sleeves with or without ferrite beads. In some embodiments, one or more shunt resonators may be used to provide additional impedance compensation.
