  • Sky wave DF antenna system
    Patent number: 4207572
    Abstract: A sky wave DF antenna system is disclosed. It is able to respond to an incoming transmitted signal and define the direction of the transmitter. It utilizes six or more simple loops connected and arranged to form a spaced loop antenna system which indicates the incoming direction of the transmitted signal without regard to the polarization or the elevational angle of the sky wave.

  • Sensitivity improvement of spaced-loop antenna by capacitive gap loading
    Patent number: 3973263
    Abstract: An improved antenna system having a plurality of loop antennas surrounded coaxial shields which have dual electrostatic shield gaps therein. A shunt capacitance is placed across each of the shield gaps. The shunt capacitances are matched and variable among discrete values. Variation of the capacitances provides increased antenna sensitivity without a change in physical dimensions of the antenna.
