ABSTRACT:
A half-wave length communications antenna assembly especially adapted to be mounted on non-conductive surfaces, such as on a window of a vehicle. The antenna assembly desirably includes an electrically shortened half-wave inductively loaded radiating whip loaded at its base end by a loading capacitor plate to be fixed to a non-conductive surface. The whip is coupled through the non-conductive surface to a transmission line internally of the vehicle by a coupling capacitor plate which, with the loading capacitor plate, forms a coupling capacitor. A tuned circuit which is tuned to the nominal resonant frequency of the whip is connected to the coupling capacitor plate and serves as an impedance matching circuit between the half-wave whip and the transmission line. The tuned circuit also affects the radiation pattern of the whip to produce a pattern more typical of a five-eighths wave length antenna to provide somewhat greater gain.
