Abstract :
The performance of high-power curtain antennas which have been designed for international broadcasting stations is presented along with details of design and construction. The antennas described provide horizontal beamwidths ranging from 190°to 28 °, vertical beamwidths from 4°to 12°, and power gains ranging from 18 to more than 23.5 dB above a half-wave dipole in free space.
