  • Temperature compensated radio frequency antenna and methods related thereto
    Patent number: 4366484
    Abstract: A resonant metallic conductor having a nominal resonant frequency which varies inversely with temperature is temperature compensated by association with a predetermined proportion of dielectric material which acts to increase the nominal resonant frequency with temperature so as to substantially temperature compensate an antenna structure.
