Abstract
A Frequency Agile Electrically Small Tactical AM Broadcast Band Antenna System (NC#098978) comprising a transmitter, antenna, plurality of mast wires and configurable tophat assembly. The transmitter is designed to transmit radio frequency signals. The antenna tuning unit is operatively coupled to the transmitter and designed to tune the apparatus to a desired frequency. The plurality of mast wires operatively is coupled to the antenna tuning unit and designed to receive and output radio frequency signals. The configurable tophat assembly is operatively coupled to the plurality of mast wires. The configurable tophat assembly comprises a tophat disc comprising a conductive material, a plurality of tophat wires comprising a conductor material and a plurality of tophat jumpers designed to help configure said plurality of tophat wires to different lengths by providing electrical open and electrical short states.
