ROTARY BEAM ANTENNA Filed Nov. l5, 1940 Snventor Patented Jee. e, 1 942 UNITED STATES i .PATENT ao'raar BEAMANTENNA L George B. Brown, Haddoniicld, N.'J.', assigner to v Badio'Corpontion o!

Nil-:335.743 l 13 claims (ci. 25o-41) i This invention relates toradio beam antennas and particularly to aradio beam antenna in'- cluding'means vfor operating the same at either of two related wave lengths.
vagin. s. Patent. No. 1,745,342 describes el system in which a driven antenna is coupled; to a parasitic director and a parasiticreilector which are parallel to and respectively infront of and behind the antenna. Such a system is directive and efficient. However, it is only eilicient within a narrow frequency range about the resonant point of the antenna.

An additional object'is to provide-means whereby a rotary beam antenna may be operatedA at either .of two wave lengths bearing a two to one ratio. The vinvention will'be described'by vreferring to the accompanying drawing injwhich Fig. 1
. provide means for operating -a directive antenna is a perspective view o! one embodiment -of the f rotary beam antenna of the inventiom' Fig. 2l is av perspective view of therotating mechanism of Fig. 1 ;"Fig. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram" of the antenna of Fig. 1;'Flg. l3Aia"afrcircuity diagram of a portion of Fig. k3;. and'fFlgs-.4A;
4B, 4C, 4D and 4E are circuit diagramsjof 'modi-fvk proximatel'y one-eighth wavelength behindthe antenna conductor ikwhich has Aan effective length of'half the longer wave. The director g 5 forl the longer waveis` slightly less than-a. half kwave long' andl isv spaced approximately oneeighth wave length in front of the antenna con'- ductor.

Since the longer wave is. twice'slthelengthof the shorter, it follows that -the' shorter wave elements willA` have no-.appreciable eiec't'on the y longer wave elements. The antennaconductor `5v operates as a' half wave ydipole for', t h e longer waves, and as ctwohalf-y wave cophased dipoles for the shorterwaves. v I

the input reactance of the open section becomes extremely high. In Fig. 4C the stub acts like aninductive stub 13 inches in length at the high frequency and as a high impedance at the lower frequency. In Iig.` 4D the circuit LC becomes series resonant at 2 9 megacycles and hence'places an inductive stub of the proper length across the line; at 14.2 megacycles the circuit LC becomes parallel resonant and the input reactance of the stub across the 4line becomes very high. In Fig. 4E the circuit constants are chosen so that the combination acts as an inductive stub of the correct length at the high frequency and as a high impedance at the low frequency.
Thus the invention has been described a"s a rotating beam antenna which may be operated for receiving or transmitting waves of a predetermined length ratio. for example l0 meters and 20 meters. v The antenna conductor is used as a pair` of cophased half wave dipoles atthe short wave length and as a half wave dipole at thelonger wave length. Bv means of one of a number of novel transmission line connections the antenna is matched to the line forpwaves of eitherl length. No switching is required for either short or long wave operation. The several dimensions, wave lengths, or frequencies have been cited by way of illustration rather than imitation. Furthermore, it has been found that theautomatic operation is entirely satisranges. Renectors and/or directors may be used to make the beam sharply directive although either or both may b e omitted on either wave length range to make the pattern less directive. The receiver or transmitter which is associated with ,the antenna is simply tuned to either wave length band.
