Abstract

The broadband linear antenna array system of vertical polarization for a short-wave band operation consisting of "butterfly" radiators is offered. Antenna system consists of two arrays located before each other. Array 1 operates in frequency band 4–8 MHz, array 2 – in band 8–16 MHz. Wire reflector serves for array 1 and the last serves as reflector for array 2. Advantage of antenna system is "planeness" of a design and absence of high-frequency insulators.
