The G5RV antenna is a dipole antenna fed indirectly, through a carefully chosen length of 300 Ω or 450 Ω twin lead, which acts as an impedance matching network to connect (through a balun) to a standard 50 Ω coaxial transmission line. The sloper antenna is a slanted vertical dipole antenna attached to the top of a single tower. The element ...
A coaxial antenna (often known as a coaxial dipole) is a particular form of a half-wave dipole antenna, most often employed as a vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna. History [ edit ]
Curtain arrays were originally developed during the 1920s and 1930s when there was a lot of experimentation with long distance shortwave broadcasting. The underlying concept was to achieve improvements in gain and/or directionality over the simple dipole antenna, possibly by folding one or more dipoles into a smaller physical space, or to arrange multiple dipoles such that their radiation ...
Louis Varney (G5RV) invented this antenna in 1946. [4] It is very popular in the United States. [5] The antenna can be erected as horizontal dipole, as sloper, or an inverted-V antenna. With a transmatch, (antenna tuner) it can operate on all HF amateur radio bands (3.5–30 MHz). [5] [6]
Inverted-'V' antenna When the two arms of a dipole are individually straight, but bent towards each other in a 'V' shape, at an angle visibly less than 180°, the dipole is called a 'V' antenna, and when the dipole's far ends are staked closer to the ground than the center, it is called an inverted-'V' antenna. The inverted-'V' is popular since ...
Antenna arrays may employ any basic (omnidirectional or weakly directional) antenna type, such as dipole, loop or slot antennas. These elements are often identical. Log-periodic and frequency-independent antennas employ self-similarity in order to be operational over a wide range of bandwidths.
A 20-meter-long T²FD antenna, covering the 5-30 MHz band. The Tilted Terminated Folded Dipole (T²FD, T2FD, or TTFD) or Balanced Termination, Folded Dipole (BTFD) - also known as W3HH antenna - is a general-purpose shortwave antenna developed in the late 1940s by the United States Navy.
Indoor antennas are designed to be located on top of or next to the television set, but are ideally placed near a window in a room and as high up as possible for the best reception. [1] The most common types of indoor antennas are the dipole [2] ("rabbit ears"), which work best for VHF channels, and loop antennas, which work best for UHF. [3]
