  • Suspended antenna with dual corona ring apparatus
    Patent number: 4771292
    Abstract: The aerostat-supported antenna/tether cable of a communication system is protected from destructive corona discharges by a dual corona ring assembly which attaches the feed cable of the transmitter to the antenna. The voltage divider assembly includes upper and lower corona rings which have a space between them which is an isolated and corona-free attachment point for the feed cable. By attaching the voltage divider assembly to the antenna/tether cable at about 12 to 15 feet above the ground, the base of the antenna/tether cable distributes the feed voltage along its length to levels below those voltage levels in which destructive ionization may occur.
