A highly efficient
radiation structure in a compact design is described. The structure is designed to receive
over the air signals in the UHF
frequency band. Unlike most of the current structures, the disclosure structure consists of an array of four radiating elements and are configured to perform an uniform reception along the horizontal plane and the elements are positioned in a circle or in a square configuration and are located near the outer edge of a circular or a
square shape circuit board; the elements are efficiently combined by an unique four way
power combiner which is specially designed to obtain the necessary impedance match to an input
coaxial cable. The entire structure consist only a few simple parts. Namely, a circuit board with the top and bottom surfaces etched on with the radiating elements and associated feed lines. A coaxial
feed line terminated with a feeding connector of the F type is provided. This
coaxial line provides the necessary input connection to the circuit board and also routs the receiving
signal to a TV. Two circuit board designs are disclosed; one is equipped with circular
dipole arms while the second circuit board is equipped with the rectangular
dipole arms. On the circular
dipole element design, the array structure is implemented with a cone shape
ground plane which is designed to help reduce the
radiation coverage below the horizons. The square
aperture array is implemented without the cone shape
ground plane. Both structures are protected by a plastic
enclosure and both structures are configured to be simple and can be made economically.
