Abstract
Abstract The disclosure concerns an assembly formed by a large-sized antenna with a supporting mast, the working of which brings the ground plane into play, and by a high-power transmitter. To reduce the distance between the transmitter and the radiating part of the antenna, and to reduce the cost of the architectural structure of the antenna and of the room sheltering the transmitter, this room is formed by the base of the mast which supports the antenna. The dimensions and bed of the base of the mast are designed as a function of the space needed and of the stability to be given to the antenna.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
An architectural structure comprising: a shortwave antenna; a mast for supporting said short wave antenna, wherein said mast has a base which forms a room, said base being secured to ground; at least one transmitter positioned inside said room of the base of the mast; wherein said mast further comprises a movable structure positioned above said base and coupled to said base by a coupling structure, and said short wave antenna is a rotating short wave antenna mounted to said movable structure; and wherein the room has a ceiling pierced with an aperture and wherein the coupling structure comprises a collar lining the aperture of said room, a ring gear formed above said collar and a driving mechanism for driving said ring gear to thereby rotate the rotating short wave antenna.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
An architectural structure comprising: a shortwave antenna; a mast for supporting said short wave antenna, wherein said mast has a base which forms a room, said base being secured to ground; at least one transmitter positioned inside said room of the base of the mast; wherein said mast further comprises a movable structure positioned above said base and coupled to said base by a coupling structure, and said short wave antenna is a rotating short wave antenna mounted to said movable structure; and wherein the room has a ceiling pierced with an aperture and wherein the coupling structure comprises a collar lining the aperture of said room, a ring gear formed above said collar and a driving mechanism for driving said ring gear to thereby rotate the rotating short wave antenna.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
An architectural structure comprising: a short wave antenna; a mast for supporting said short wave antenna, wherein said mast has a base which forms a room, said base being secured to ground; at least one transmitter positioned inside said room of the base of the mast; wherein the room is made of reinforced concrete and includes supporting plates made of concrete, cast into the ground, and a concrete chamber, resting at ground level, on the supporting plates to which it is fixed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
82 words
An architectural structure comprising: a short wave antenna; a mast for supporting said short wave antenna, wherein said mast has a base which forms a room, said base being secured to ground; at least one transmitter positioned inside said room of the base of the mast; wherein the room is made of reinforced concrete and includes supporting plates made of concrete, cast into the ground, and a concrete chamber, resting at ground level, on the supporting plates to which it is fixed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A structure according to claim 2, wherein the room has walls lined with a shielding.
