The traveling-wave v-antenna and related antennas

An investigation was made of the traveling-wave V-antenna, which is a combination of a traveling-wave antenna and a V-antenna. This paper includes a description of the antenna, a discussion of the effect on the radiation patterns of variations in such quantities as the loading resistance
R
, the apex angle
\Delta
, the length
h
of the traveling-wave section and the length
h_{T}
of the standing-wave section. Tests were also made on traveling-wave V-antennas with more than one set of resistors. An excellent agreement between the theory and experiments of the radiation patterns was obtained.
