Patent ID: 7113147

Claim:
A television antenna system for receiving broadcast television signals comprising: an antenna receiving said broadcast television signals, said antenna comprising: a first high dielectric sheet; a pair of antenna arms formed of conductive metallic material on said first high dielectric sheet, said pair of antenna arms oriented on said first high dielectric sheet without interleaving and touching each other; each antenna arm in said pair having a terminal feed point, the terminal feed point of one antenna arm spaced apart from the other antenna arm in said pair, each antenna arm identical in shape to the other antenna arm in said pair; a reflector, said reflector comprising: a second high dielectric sheet; a grid of reflector cells formed of conductive metallic material on said second high dielectric sheet, the dimensions of each of said reflector cells in said grid having dimensions that rejects unwanted multi-path broadcast television signals to said antenna; a support formed of high dielectric material, said support holding said reflector from said antenna, said reflector held in a plane a predetermined distance from said terminal feed point of each said antenna arm in said pair of antenna arms by said support, said predetermined distance providing a higher front-to-back ratio that further rejects said unwanted multi-path broadcast television signals to said antenna.
