The present invention. relates to an arrangementfor using the outer sur-face of anraircraft or other 'ungrounded I conductively 'cased vehicle as an antenna.
It has been customarygboth for receivingiand transmitting, to provide aircraft with a conventional type of antenna, such as,'a loopiantenna,
an open wire antenna trailing: behind the. plane or strung fixedly on support projecting from the plane, or a self supportingrod' antenna.
An object of the present invention is. toutilize the relatively greatdimensions of the plane itself as the antenna either for-transmitting:orreceiv-- ing and thus do away with the necessity. for anyprojecting structure of any considerabledimensions.
'Another object of the'present invention is to provide a mean for coupling aresonant'system entirely contained within a body which also is a resonant system tothe containing resonant'systern.
' The present invention maybe applied not. only to-airplanes but,-also, to dirigibles or any kind of aircraft made largely of metal soas to form an electrically resonant system. It maybe applied even to' metal bodied motor Vehicles'insulated from the ground'by rubber tires.
"The invention will be more fully understood by reference to i a full detailed description which is accompanied by'a drawing in which Figure 1 illustrates' schematically anembodiment of the invention, Figure 1a. illustrates a modification of Figure 1, and'Figures 2 and 3; further modifications thereof.
In Figure 1, '13 indicates an elongated conducting body insulated from earth such as, forexample, the fuselage of a metal'covered-airplane.
Structural details of the planesuch as wings,
motors, landinggear,'etc., which are not'pertinent to the present invention -have not been shown. Such a bodyconstitutes' a dipole with a relatively large radiation resistance but relatively small reactance 'forfrequenciespther than its natural frequency. This is because- 0f the-large ratio of maximum diameter-to'itslength as compared with the usual wire -o tubing dipole. As a result of the small ratio of length-to cross-section, the body B considered as a resonant system isvery broadly resonant and will respond to a relatively large range offrequencies. Let us suppose,thereforeythathorizontally polarized radio waves impinge upon horizontal body B with a frequency of the order of the natural frequency of the body. As a result,- oscillating current news along the-surface of B, which current pro- I 10 Claims. (Cl: 250- 33) ducesamagnetic field around the bodyiland an electric field along the-body. Theiproduced' magnetic' field is'greate'st at the middleof the body,
and the electrostatic field is greatest at the 'ends.
Inside the enclosed body is another resonantJciricuit Ctuned to the desired frequency. Due'. to 'the'shielding action of B, no voltage can betpicked up by the interior tuned circuit by anyconnection that'can be made Within Bat any. position therewithin.
The interior resonant system may 'be coupled to the 'exteriorresonant system, asi shown in" Figure 1, by providing *a magnetic link circuit which is magnetically coupled to the interior tuned circuit C. It is passed through a pairof holes'h, h in B so that the conductor'wireof' the link encloses-some of the magnetic flux surrounding B. 'Holes 72., h are preferably located alonga line of current "flowing on the outside of B. The amount of coupling increases with the distance between" the holes and withthe separation between the external part of thelink circuit K and the surface of B. It will be appreciated that in place of an independent link circuit a portion of the interior resonant circuit C may be brought'out through the aforesaid holes h, h, as shown in Figure Id, at K, so as to provide direct mutual inductance between the interior and exterior systems.
If the present system is to be used for receiving signals, transducer T may comprise radio receiving equipment, while if it i to be used'for transmitting, the transducer -may comprise a "generator of intelligence :bearing high frequency energy coupled to the tuned circuit C.
Figure 2 shows a modified formoftheinvention wherein coupling between the interior'and exterior systems is electrostatic innature. In Figure 2, B is, as before, assumed to be of a length the order of one-half. the wavelength of the operating frequency. Re-entrantly connected .to one end of B, where the electrostatic field is the greatest, is a metal pipe P of somewhatgreater lengththan a quarter of the operating wavelength. Within the pipe is aconductive rod R connected to the pipe by asliding piston S. The rod is .alsoslidable in the piston. When the right end of the rod is. entirely inside the pipe, the concentric line formed by R and P will be resonant and entirely decoupled from the dipole formed by the outer surface of B. However, if S and Rbe moved to .the rightso that the rod R projects slightly beyond the end of the pipe, electrostatic linesof force willbe set up as shown atL between the end ofthe rod and. the end of the outer-surface of B. These lines of force interact with the lines of force emanating from the ends of B due to oscillations on the outside of B and hence constitute a capacity coupling between the two systems. The coupling may also be considered from a diiferent point of view as follows: Since the current in the rod is not zero at the point where the rod leaves the pipe, there must be an equal and opposite current flowing from the end of the pipe into the end of dipole body B. This current may be small but a small current fed in at one end of a dipole will excite a relatively large amount of current in the middle of the dipole, thus obtaining the desired coupling. By means of relative adjustment between R and S, the interior system may be sharply tuned to a desired frequency while by sliding S (together with R as a unit) inside P, the coupling between the interior and exterior systems may be adjusted. The in terior system may be fed with energy from an oscillator or amplifier in the usual fashion for transmission purposes while for reception, the receiving set will obtain voltage from the interior system.
Since the coupling between the interior and exterior systems has been demonstrated to be due to the capacity between a high voltage point of the interior system and a high voltage point of the exterior system, the interior system need not be of the concentric line type but may be a tuned circuit C as shown in Figure 3. Furthermore, if desired, the projecting rod shown in Figure 2 may be replaced by a small streamlined cap D fitting over the end of the body B and insulated therefrom. In this case, the coupling between the systems may be adjusted by moving the tap X indicated on the tuned circuit C.
It should be noted that the system is applicable to automobiles or other land vehicles having metal bodies for the reception of wavelengths approximating twice the length of the vehicle. In the case of cars of ordinary dimensions, this wavelength range includes the range at present as signed to frequency modulation broadcasting,
