Abstract
Uniform and concentrated radio broadcast signals are obtained employing an antenna structure which uses separate antenna conductors on opposite sides of a radio reception area. The antenna conductors perform similarly to the plates of a capacitor. Highly efficient antenna performance results. In a preferred embodiment wherein the antennas are used for radio testing inside a vehicle assembly plant, the track or carrier structure of the vehicle assembly line provides one of the antenna conductors.
