Abstract: An antenna structure is disclosed that is a loop of conductors, approximately one wavelength in perimeter, plus a supporting conductor connected from one side of the loop to the opposite side. This antenna structure is connected to the associated electronic equipment, in a balanced manner with respect to the supporting conductor, effectively at either connection between the loop and the supporting conductor. Because of the balanced connection, the supporting conductor carries very little current and has very little influence on the electrical operation of the loop. Such a structure could be made stronger than the traditional one-wavelength loops supported by insulators, because metals are usually stronger than insulating materials.
