Radiation from Vee Antennas

Certain aspects of the directional qualities of a nonresonant inclined vee antenna are discussed briefly. Formulas, based on the assumption of a perfectly conducting earth, are derived for the radiation intensity in two planes. These relations show that the antenna is unidirectional when center driven. Its wideband performance, combined with ease of erection and low cost should make it an attractive antenna, particularly for receiving applications.
