    Abstract: A TV antenna having integrated UHF-VHF sections and designed to favorably respond to at least two widely spaced frequencies. The dipoles of the antenna are arranged in a staggered tuned array mounted on a pair of conductive cross-arms. The rearmost dipole is provided with a paddle-shaped dipole that can be adjusted for 1/2 wavelength response at the lower of the two frequencies by varying the perimeter of the paddle, and the higher frequency is tuned in by adjusting the 3/2 wavelength response by varying the length of the inboard conductor.
