Abstract

619,561. Radio aerials. RUMSEY, V. H. Nov. 16, 1946, No. 34045. Convention date, June 5. [Class 40 (vii)] A radiator comprises an aperture in a cavity formed of conductive material with antenna means mounted inside the cavity and fed from outside and includes parasitically-excited radiating means associated with the aperture and arranged so that the input impedance to the antenna means is substantially constant over a band of frequencies. An array of aperture radiators (Fig. 1) have their cavities formed by a base sheet 101, a back sheet 122 and top sheet 121, and partitions 102; each cavity is approximately a wavelength long. Extensions 104 and 103 minimize back radiation. The radiators may be fed in phase by branched transmission lines or the end radiators may be energized less strongly than the centre ones, Fig. 2 (not shown). If it is desired to feed the elements of the array out of phase and with differing magnitudes, this can readily be arranged as the interaction of the radiators one on another is negligible. Radiation from each aperture has vertical polarization of the electric field and the conductive struts at the midpoint of each aperture compel operation in the proper mode. The antenna element 105 which excites the cavity is midway between the end plates and about a quarter-wavelength in front of the back plate. It is fed from the unbalanced feeder 113, 115, the outer of which 113 is in contact with the cavity and the inner of which 115 passes through insulators 106, 119 and makes contact with the centre portion of hollow tubular radiator 105. An impedance match between the transmission line and the radiator depends on the reflections inside the cavity and normally the matching is critical with frequency. However, parasitic radiators 108 serve to match the radiator over a band of frequencies by acting as capacitive loading stubs which provide shunt reactance across the wave-guide. It is stated that elements 108 not only broaden the frequency band, but serve to make any frequency matching device between antenna 105 and its transmission line necessary.
