Abstract
A compact, lightweight, printed circuit card antenna which is adaptable to a wide range of frequencies, including very low frequencies. The antenna includes a three-dimensional inductor formed on the card, a peripheral conductor stripe on one side of the card which provides a distributed capacitance to the end of the antenna (to cancel inductive effects and broaden its bandwidth), and a peripheral conductor on the opposite side of the card which provides a capacitance to ground (to tune the antenna to frequency), and a transmission line feed point which provides an impedance match to the associated printed circuit flat cable transmission line without the use of impedance matching circuits.
