The Traveling-Wave VHF Television Transmitting Antenna

A new simple and rugged television antenna has been developed for vhf high channels. The antenna utilizes pairs of slot radiators cut longitudinally in a vertical pipe. In each pair the slots are fed in opposite phase, and the pairs are displaced one-quarter wavelength from each other along the pole. Every other pair is in one vertical plane and the remaining pairs in another perpendicular to this. The slots are fed with a traveling wave within the pole.
