ANTENNAE OF OTHER
TYPES ARE DESCRIBED
Cage, Loop and Umbrella Forms
Have Each Certain Advan-
tageS and Special Uses.

Some OF the newer generation oe
rsdlo amateurs may have been led to
think that the cage antenna is more
efficient than other forms. One of
the arguments advanced for their use
is that they have been adopted by the
United States navy on all ships. There
Is q good reason for the adoption of
this type of antenna for the navy, but
1t Is not because of the great efficiency
OF the cage type. In fact, the only rea-
son the cage type Is used at all in the
navy Is because of the fact that 1t
would be difficult for an enemy shell
to carry away the antenna with a
single shot.
There seems to be a good deal Of
misinfOrmation on the merits of the
cage-type antenna. They make
The Snowflake herald., 1922-11-10

pretty appearance, 1t Is true, but un-
fortunately in radio, pretty is as
pretty does, and it takes more than
any artistic appearance to do the
work.
One Of the so-called advantages of
the cage is that high tension corona
losses are reduced to minimum. If
the amateur Is using undamped oscil-
lations, that is, using a vacuum tube
transmitter, he need not be concerned
about corona losses. However, If a
damped or spark transmitter is used,
the cage antenna will be advisable.
Also uniform current distribution Is
tenna. This Is not the case with the
flat-top antenna, where the currents
are not equal, the outer carrying more
current than the inner wires. From
the foregoing 1t may be said that the
cage antenna is to be preferred to the
f1at-top only because of the reduction
of the high-voltage corona losses and
because of the uniform current distri-
button.
1t has been shown that antennae have
certain we'll defined directional char
acteristics. The one having the most
clearly defined characteristics is the
loop antenna shown in Figure 9.
In actual practice a very satisfac-
tory type of loop antenna for recep-
tional purposes consists Of eight turns
of No. 16 wire, spaced one-eighth, and
wound on a frame 36 inches square.
The fundamental wave length of this
antenna is approximately $50 meters.
Obviously loop antennae need not
be square. They may be triangular,
circular, or any closed shape, and
their linear dimensions are not nee
essarily fixed. Due to their small
dimensions, the amount Of energy
picked up by them is also small, and
therefore they should be used only
with several stages of radio frequency
amplification before the detector. See
Figure 8, In which the loop Is shown
with only detector.
In the hook-up, l. is the loop anten-
ma, and forms the inductance in the
oscillating circuit. G Is the variable
condenser connected across the loop
terminals and is used to tune the loop
to the proper wave length.
A loop antenna in this manner has
extremely sharp directional character
istics and receives signals only from
stations in the plane of the loop. That
Is, the loop must be parallel to the
direction of travel of the wave sent
out by the transmitter.
Many good circuits have recently
been devised whereby loop anfennae
are used with success in eliminating
static interference. This elimination
Is accomplished partly by the smaii
linear dimensions Of the loop anu
The Snowflake herald., 1922-11-10

partly by its inherent characteristics
One of the most important apr;i-
cations of the loop aEtenna is as q
radio compass, for ship, airplane and
submarine. By means of the Bellini
Tosi system, in which two single wire
antennae, erected at righr angles to
each other, ere used, the exact bear
ing of a distant transmitter may be
determined. This system is the one
used by the numerous naval radio
compass stations along the sea coast.
The umbrella-type antenna, as illus
trated in Figure 10, receives it's name
from its general shape and similarity
to an umbrella. Referring to the fig
ure 1t will be seen that this type of
antenna consists of number of wires
connected at the upper end of ver-
tical mast and radiating from this
point In several directions. The lead
in is taken from the central point of
the antenna system.
In general, length of the radiating
wires or ribs" of the umbrella Is
about twO-thirds the total height of
the mast, although this dimension is
not fixed, and different ratio may
be employed with success. AS can be
seen in the Illustration, insulatOrs are
placed about One-third of the way from
the top Of the "rib" wires, so that the
actual antenna will be some distance
above the ground. The overall length
of the rib" wires, including the guy
wire, should be several times as long
as the mast is high. This guy wire
The Snowflake herald., 1922-11-10

can be fastened either to small post
or to peg driven into the ground.
Due to the fact that the wires of
the umbrella-type antenna cover a
large area Of ground, the capacity Of
the antenna is very large. The total
inductance, however, is only a little
greater than that of the vertical por-
ton of the antenna.
The umbrella-type antenna has not
found very wide field of application
in commercial or amateur telegraphy.
During the war 1t was used to some
extent in portable army sets. Due to
its directional characteristics, which
are nil-or in other words, energy Is
radiated equally in all directions-it
has found some favor with some high
powered commercial stations for trans.
oceanic communication.

1t Is proposed to increase the
facilities for broadcasting by
varying some of the many 800
meter stations by 25 or more
meters. 1t is believed that this
arrangement would permit more
OF the stations to operate at the

safy to divide the time into so

not care for Edgeworth, but those who
do, we believe, settle down and never
smoke any other tobacco the rest OF
their lives.

chasers. Both Edgeworth Plug Slice
and Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed are

add the name of the dealer to whom
you will go if you should like Edge
worth, we would appreciate that
courtesy on your part.

He who smokes last
smokes best
Wherein our correspondent
takes a long shot at
GAINESVILLE, 0.

When we printed letter from
smoker who professed a preference fo
the early morning smoke, apparent
we started something. Almost th
next mail brought along a batch {
letters, among which the following
a fair sample:
Dear Sirs:
Will you allow me to take issue with
your A. K. X. from GAINESVILLE who in
eists that the best pipe of the day is the
one smoked right after breakfast?
OF course, have no intimate knowl-
edge of local conditions down in Southern
Ohio, but up here the majority of us reg
ular pipe smokers have decided leaning
towards the last pipe Of the evening.
Take night when you are sitting in
front of the fire after the neighbors have
gonA. Your wife suggests it is bedtime,
craving for one last smoke. She goes on
upstairs and you promise to follow di-
sctly BSs i1 instead You take out s,S9r yogr
and peacefully, calling out at intervals
that you'll be there in a minute. Only
you don't go until the last ash has died
In the bowl Of your pipe.
That's my idea Of the best smoke Of
the day.
Or rsuppose you've been out to stiff,
formal party where all they gave you
were cigars and cigarettes. You get
home about IL G. M, take of your glad
rags and jump into something cool and
comfortable. Then you find your old
pipe, hunt up the blue can of Edgeworth
and light up for q real smoke.
Yes, sir, for every smoker A. x. K.
can produce who likes his after-break-
fast pipe best, I'll guarantee to name
dozen men who prefer the last smoke OF
the evening. And most OF US are Edge
worth smokers, too.
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) T. s. Flint,
