[Antennas] CCD antennas

Wed, 25 Dec 2002 08:18:18 -0800

Following up on George's tip, I discovered that the Table of Contents for
the ARRL Antenna Compendium #2 lists the following:

CONTROLLED CURRENT DISTRIBUTION ANTENNAS
132 The controlled Current Distribution (CCD) Antenna
    Stanley Kaplan, WB9RQR, and E. Joseph Bauer, W9WQ
    What do you have when you break your antenna conductor up into
    many sections coupled with capacitors?  If the section lengths
    and capacitor values are chosen properly, you have an efficient
    antenna with numerous advantages over a straight conductor.
    Here's how to design it.

137 The End-Coupled Resonator (ECR) Loop
    Henry S. Keen, W5TRS
    The controlled current distribution (CCD) technique can be applied
    to loop antennas, too.  Here is the basic information on why CCD
    works, as well.

One of the early ARRL Antenna Compendium volumes had an article on
them.

Does anybody have any info on CCD antennas (Controlled current
Distribution). The only info I can find using the google search came
up in a foreign language

Thanks
