ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR TELEVISION RECEPTION WITHIN BOTH THE UHF AND VHF TELEVISION BAND OF FREQUENCIES

摘要

An antenna system operable within both the UHF television band of frequencies and the VHF television band of frequencies is provided wherein a structure which acts as a sheet type, broadband, non-resonant reflector at UHF frequencies is spaced between a UHF driven element and the VHF driven dipole elements. The structure is constructed, for example, of parallel rods or conductors with a support member joining the rods to form a grid like construction approximating a sheet reflector. The parallel rods are of such length and are so arranged relative to said VHF driven elements to act also as a resonant director for frequencies at the high end of the VHF television band of frequencies.
