O.G. "Mike" Villard Anti Jamming Antenna Information

[Schroedingers Cat]

Here is some information on Dr. Villard's Anti Jamming Antenna. It looks like 4 foot by 4 foot would be required at least for 1.5 MHz. I will look for more links as I get a chance. I guess the "jamming" could be from IBOC sidebands, but I don't know how effective it would be. Worth investigating though.

Here's a link that shows how to build it. I have not built it, so I don't know how it works. I would be interested in building one modified for AM BC, especially if it worked to reduce IBOC sidebands. Groundwave and skywave might require different designs for different polarization. Keep in mind that skywaves may have H polarized components even though the transmitting antenna is V polarized.

Since it works for 30 MHz, perhaps a different smaller inductance and capacitiance design could reduce FM IBOC.

Sorry, but to me it seems improbable that any configuration of a receive antenna could produce useful gain/performance over any single analog AM or FM broadcast channel while simultaneously and usefully rejecting IBOC (HD) or other interference on adjacent channels, regardless of the polarization(s) of those interfering signals.
