Patent ID: 7626557

Claim:
A DUV antenna having a forward pointing X axis comprising: an antenna support: a driven antenna comprising two antenna elements, each antenna element having; an inner RF element contact; and an antenna element support attached to the antenna support; a plurality of passive RF enhancers selected from: an RF booster comprising an RF reflective element displaced from the X axis and supported by the antenna support; a VHF enhancer supported by the antenna support, comprising one of: a VHF reflector, and a VHF director; and a UHF enhancer supported by the antenna support, comprising one of: a UHF reflector, and UHF director; and a signal line communicatively connected to the DUV RF contacts; wherein the driven antenna is configured for a first odd to even rational number wave resonance within a prescribed UHF frequency range, and, a second odd to even rational number wave resonance within a prescribed VHF frequency range; wherein the driven antenna has an electrical length LD between 375 mm and 1192 mm; and wherein the plurality of passive RF enhancers are configured to enhance the driven DUV antenna performance in the prescribed UHF frequency range and in the prescribed VHF frequency range.
