| Abstract | A new class of electrically small tunable antennas that are highly efficient has been developed. Designs for US Army applications include communications antennas in the HF and VHF bands with frequency tuning ranges in excess of 15:1. Designs operating at moderate power levels (10-40 W) and high power (1 kW) exist or are under development. The antennas are low profile, high Q devices inherently suitable for co-site and airborne applications. They exhibit efficiencies at least 10 dB greater than comparable size antennas. The ETH is an electronically tuned normal mode helix. This electrically short (as small as 0.029/spl lambda/) monopole design is tuned by shorting turns of the helix, making the helix resonant in the 1/4 wavelength mode at the operating frequency. At this frequency the input impedance is nominally 50 Ohms. No base tuner is required. Since the inherent RF losses of the ETH are very low, it is a much more efficient antenna than designs of equal size. Antenna tuning is based on the ability to alter the electrical length of the antenna to achieve antenna resonance and to control the current distribution along the antenna surface. For typical communication applications, omnidirectional azimuthal coverage and a broad elevation beam are desired and are readily generated by the ETH antennas. US Army test results on several ETH designs are presented. A 13" tall blade ETH operating at VHF (30-88 MHz) was tested. Additional test results on a vehicular mounted HF ETH antenna operating as low as 1.5 MHz (16 ft. tall antenna) are presented. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
