- Subject: Cage Dipole Rings
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- The Cage Dipole is an outstanding antenna system that has been in
- use in the US Navy for many years. It more recently found its way into
- use with the M.A.R.S system.
- Description: The Cage Dipole gets it's name from it's appearance,
- the dipole consistes of several spreader rings which support 6 to 8
- wires in a circular arrangement, most antennas in the 80 to 40 meter
- band will require 8 to 10 rings. Once assembled it resembles a cage.
- Advantages: The Cage Dipole once assembled (on 12 inch rings for
- example) acts as though it has a single conductor that is 12 inches in
- diameter. The result is a exceptionally broadbanded design! My 12 inch
- system operates across the entire 80 meter band without the need to
- retune. The large capture area of the antenna makes for an unsurpassed
- receive antenna as well.
- Finding the rings is the tough part. If you are interested in this
- type antenna or want help locating the spreader rings leave e-mail here
- or on prodigy (UWKJ62A) or give me a call at (901) 476-7171.
-
- Thanks Dave (KC4LTC)

- Interesting. I've seen this antenna in old photographs of
- ham and commercial stations; the older QST covers ocassionally
- showed one, too. Must be a bit on the heavy side.
