Abstract
Apparatus for connecting the female connector end of a coaxial antenna lead to the members of a slot antenna includes a first connecting member having a flat base connected to one antenna member with a pair of arms at the base end farthest from the slot adapted to engage the female end of the coaxial lead and connect the outer conductor to the one antenna member. A forked extension projects from the base end nearest the slot, and the base flares outwardly in width from the arms to the forked extension to dissipate the radial electromagnetic field of the coaxial lead so it does not interfere with the slot. A second conducting member includes a conductor adapted at one end to engage the inner conductor at the female connector end of the coaxial lead and at the other end to engage the other antenna member. An insulator engages the forked extension to interlock the first and second connecting members.
