The HDS is fed at one corner, close to the ground. If only the fundamental frequency<br />

is desired, then you can feed it with 52-Ω coaxial cable. But at harmonics, the feedpoint<br />

impedance changes to as high as 1000 Ω. If harmonic operation is intended, then an<br />

antenna tuning unit (ATU) is needed at point A to match these impedances.<br />

As with the delta loop, the “sharp” interior angle (i.e.,
