Abstract
Abstract This disclosure deals with a novel antenna apparatus embodying a nonradiating transmission line section feeding active antenna dipole elements and the like for operation over a multifrequency range, wherein use is made of resistance connected at a critical location across the nonradiating transmission line section for enabling the reduction of secondary lobes and interference in antenna reception or equivalent problems in antenna transmission.
