Abstract
A novel broadband antenna system which is both portable and easily deployed. The system comprises a power splitter, one or more element feed units, and one or more conductive antenna cables, each cable being wound around a reel. Each reel is releasably secured on an end of an element feed unit. Each element feed unit comprises an impedance matching network, and the element feed units also include a novel clip. The clip functions both to releasably retain a reel on an end of the element feed unit during transportation and storage and to electrically and mechanically connect a conductive antenna cable to the element feed unit when the antenna system is being used. In use, the element feed units are connected to the power splitter, and the power splitter is connected to a transmitter/receiver device. One or more conductive antenna cables are then connected to the element feed units using the novel clips. The cables can be placed directly on the ground or can, alternatively, be supported along at least a portion of their length above the ground by stakes.
