  2. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    This is the type of antenna used in most portable AM broadcast receivers (other than car radios): The standard AM antenna is a loop of wire wound around a ferrite rod (a "loopstick antenna"). The loop is resonated by a coupled tuning capacitor, which is configured to match the receiver's tuning, in order to keep the antenna resonant at the ...

  3. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

    Ferrite loopstick antenna from an AM radio having two windings, one for long wave and one for medium wave (AM broadcast) reception. About 10 cm (4 inches) long. Ferrite antennas are usually enclosed inside the radio receiver. Ferrite loop antennas are made by winding fine wire around a ferrite rod. They are almost universally used in AM ...

  4. Radio receiver design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver_design

    A crystal set receiver consisting of an antenna, a variable inductor, a cat's whisker, and a filter capacitor. A crystal receiver is very simple and can be easy to make or even improvise, for example, the foxhole radio. However, the crystal radio needs a strong RF signal and a long antenna to operate.

  5. Antenna types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

    A fourth design goal is to make the antenna directional: To project or intercept radio waves from only one vertical and / or horizontal direction as exclusively as possible. Simple antennas There are three types of "simple antennas": dipoles, monopoles, and loops.

  6. Random wire antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_wire_antenna

    The radiation pattern of a thin wire antenna is easily predictable using antenna modeling.For a straight wire, the radiation pattern can be described by axially symmetric multipole moments with no component along the wire direction; as the length of the wire is increased, higher multipole contributions become more prominent and multiple lobes (maxima) at angles to the antenna axis develop. [4]

  7. Dipole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

    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 ...

  8. Radio masts and towers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_masts_and_towers

    A mast radiator or mast antenna is a radio tower or mast in which the whole structure is an antenna. Mast antennas are the transmitting antennas typical for long or medium wave broadcasting. Structurally, the only difference is that some mast radiators require the mast base to be insulated from the ground.

  9. Mast radiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_radiator

    Mast radiators make good ground wave antennas, and are the main type of transmitting antennas used by AM radio stations, as well as other radio services in the MF and LF bands. They also can radiate enough power at higher elevation angles for skywave (skip) radio transmission. Most radio stations use single masts.
