| desirable for usage in the UHF broadcast band, both as transmit and receive |
| device. Actual installations have demonstrated that the circular polarization of |
| this antenna minimizes variations in signal strength and almost completely |
| eliminates multipath problems, a primary cause of ‘hits’ or nulls. The gain of this |
| antenna over the entire UHF band is superior to the common ‘off the shelf’ an- |
| tennas. The A |
| utilize just one antenna model anywhere in the UHF spectrum. Because of its |
| unique 3 dimensional radiation pattern, the antenna can be mounted above the |
| talent or venue, oriented with the antenna element facing down. With the main |
| lobe (maximum gain) of the antenna pointing downward to the desired source, |
| this arrangement has the advantage of greatly reduced sensitivity for potentially |
| interfering signals arriving horizontally. |
