Abstract

938,572. Aerials. H. EHRENSPECK. May 11, 1960 [May 11, 1959], No. 16689/60. Class 40 (7). The gain of a surface wave aerial, such as a Yagi array, is increased by providing means which ensure that at least some of the radiation from the feed point traverses the array twice. The method is stated to be applicable to all types of surface wave aerials, e.g. dielectric rod aerials. In a first embodiment, Fig. 2, a Yagi array, comprising a fed dipole, a reflector R and a number of directors D, has a reflecting plate M placed as indicated. This aerial radiates in the direction opposite to that in which the Yagi array would radiate, due to the presence of reflector M. The gain and directivity of the array exceeds that of the component Yagi. In a second embodiment, Fig. 4, the array is formed of a Yagi comprising a dipole, directors D, and a reflecting plate M, a reflector R being placed in front of the directors. In this arrangement some of the energy radiated by the Yagi array is reflected by R back to M, where it is again reflected, providing constructive interference with the main radiation lobe. The aerial may be flush-mounted, Fig. 3 (not shown), and the reflecting plate may comprise a flat or slightly curved plate, mesh screen, linear elements parallel or radially mounted, or metallized plastic. It is stated that the reflector R may be formed of like materials.
