Abstract :
A bridge type of network, which causes equal power to be delivered to two load impedances whose product is a predetermined real constant, is discussed. The input impedance of the bridge is found to be practically independent of suitably paired load-impedance values over a considerable band of frequencies. Immediate application to the design of television broadcast antennas is indicated, examples are given, and power loss is discussed.
