Abstract
Antenna for operation on a plurality of frequencies, the antenna including apex fed opposing swept elements and a plurality of stubs parallel to a central element, a plurality of capacitors connected between one end of the central element and ends of the stubs, and a coaxial cable connected to the opposing swept elements. Each swept element has a triangular configuration with a central element running from the apex to the base of the triangle at a perpendicular intersection. Plural matching stubs connect from the coaxial fed apex and parallel along the central tube, secured at the other end with clamps or capacitors. Ceramic doorknob capacitors connect between the coaxial fed apex and a free end of the first stub and between the first and second stub ends. A hairpin coil can be utilized between the apex fed and the first capacitor. A matching end can connect across the feed point at a common matching stub point for the swept elements. A plurality of apex fed opposing swept elements positioned on a boom provides a beam antenna when using a driven element and a reflector element, and additionally a director element. The antenna can operate on plural frequencies such as 20 meters, 15 meters, and 10 meters in the amateur radio spectrum or on any other frequencies in the HF or higher spectrum. An inductor and two ceramic capacitors are shunted across the 10M-15M circuitry of the driven element for 12M or 17M operation.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
