(Granted under the act of March 3, 1883, as amended April 30, 1928; 370 O. G. 757) 8 Claims.
This invention relates to retractable antenna systems with special reference to novel tuning mechanism.
antenna which efiiciently combines antenna adjustment with a coupling circuit to extend the range of normal tuning for a single antenna unit.
A further object is to provide acoupling arrangement which lends itself to easy control of a combined ordinary and dummy antenna system. Further objects relate to improved means for remote control and for ship installation.
The mentioned objects are attained by the means exemplified in the following disclosure in which Fig. 1 is an elevation, partly in section, of the antenna, showing the circuit connections; and
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the antenna showing the antenna adjustment mechanism.
Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate application of the antenna It to a ship deck, indicated by the numeral H. In an opening in the deck a Well is formed by the tubular metal casing l2, into which the antenna is adapted to be lowered. This casing is secured at one end directly to the deck and at the other end by clamp 13. The casing 12 may extend through several decks if necessary to obtain the required depth.
A short metal guide tube [4 having resilient holding end fingers l5 and it normally retains the antenna in a given set position. The guide tube in turn is held in fixed position inside the casing 12 by means of the electrically insulating cover plate ll at the deck level and the inside insulation plate I8 at the other end of the guide tube.
Means for reciprocating the antenna are provided in a rack l9 formed on the antenna, an electrically insulating pinion 2U meshing with the rack, a motor 2| operating through shaft 22 to turn the pinion, a power source 23, and a control device 24 of conventional form for varying the power supply. By this means the antenna is moved up or down in accordance with the desire of theoperator.
Withinthe casing 12. and supported by insulation plates 35 and 3! is a second guide and contact tube 32. This tube is electrically conducting and is placed in axial extension Of, tube It but displaced therefrom by an appreciable air gap. Like tube l4 the upper terminal of this second tube is resiliently constructed by the fingers of contact device 33 so that on downward movement of the antenna there is a sliding contact between the tube 32 and antenna thus bridging tubes l4 and 32. (See Fig. 2.)
The base ends of both casing l2 and tube 32, as shown in the drawings, are constricted, tube 32 to form an inside electrical conductor 34 and casing 12 an outside electrical conductor 35 of a concentric conductor unit 36 adapted to lead to the receiving or transmitting equipment. The characteristic impedance of this unit preferably coincides with that of the well unit l2--l4-32.
As described to this point it is apparent that the antenna is susceptible of use as an extensible device adaptable for different frequency requirements, provided both contact tubes [4 and B2 are bridged by the antenna. In order to extend the frequency range to include lower frequencies than would result from the limit extension of the antenna, an electrical coupling circuit 48 is provided between'contact tubes I4 and 32 which, as desired, may be short circuited by the bridging action of the antenna between these tubes.
Suitable switches are inserted in the circuit 40 to control application of the coupling. Between the inductor 42 and connection point 43, pivoted switch 50 is inserted, preferably controlled by electromagnet 5| and associated branch circuit including power source 52 and manual switch 53. Spring 54 normally maintains the switch closed but yields to permit switch opening on energization of the magnet.
Also, in the conductor connecting coil tap 45 and tube point 46 an armature controlled switch 55 is inserted, the armature 56 being operated by electromagnet 51 with its associated branch circuit including power source 53 and manual switch 59. A spring 61 is indicated to maintain the switch 55 normally closed.
A pivoted switch 60 is also inserted, in the conductor connecting coil 4! to ground. This switch is actuated by energization of electromagnet 6! on armature 62 connected to the movable switch arm, spring 63 normally holding the switch closed. Electromagnet 5| is included in a branch circuit with power source 64 and manual switch 135.
Utilizing the electromagnets 51, 51 and 6!, remote control of the various switches is attained.
A non-radiating dummy antenna circuit is also employed in the coupling circuit to facilitate adjustments and measurements, particularly in the case of lower frequencies and to carry out transmitter tests without radiation of interfering signals. This is indicated by resistor 18, which is connected between point I! on the easing l2 and a switch 12 operated alternately with switch 55, by armature 56. Thus, when the dummy antenna is in operative connection the control coupling 40 is disconnected.
The value of resistance '10 is such as to produce a matched termination for the transmission system including the unit 12-32 and the coaxial line 35. In the case of a transmitter system the relays are operated to switch in the dummy resistor 10, and the transmitter is then adjusted in the usual'way. The switch 12 is then opened and slide 41 and inductor 42 adjusted to obtain the same load impedance value as that of the dummy load. The equivalence of these conditions is determined by the use of meters or the action of the tuning controls of the transmitter in a manner obvious to those skilled in this art.
A description of the antenna operation follows. Assuming a high frequency transmission or reception the antenna is retracted, short circuiting the coupling 46 by connection of tubes I and 32 (see Fig. 2) through use of control 24, the desired effective antenna length is secured.
If longer wave length utilization is desired the antenna is moved to the outer limit breaking the direct electrical connection by the antenna of the tubes I4 and 32. Tap H is then manipulated for rough adjustment and inductor 42 for fine adjustment, of series impedance values between the antenna and ground. Also tap 45 is adjusted for power take off from the inductor M.
A further modification of coupling impedance may be secured by opening switch 68 and thus placing the impedances 4| and 42 in direct series relation as regards tube contact points i9 and 46. In this manner substantial extension of the usable antenna frequencies to lower values is secured.
Where the use of the dummy antenna load is desired for test or adjustment, closure of switch 59 and either fully extending or fully retracting antenna ID will introduce resistor Ill as substantially the only load circuit.
It thus appears that by use of deck well and by introducing a break in the antenna with utilization of by-pass coupling, substantial frequency variation with a definitely reduced length of antenna may be obtained.
Variations in specific details of the antenna and coupling construction may be made without departure from the substance of the invention as defined in the claims hereto appended.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalty thereon or therefor.
