English: The image gives six circuit diagrams (schematics) for balanced line antenna tuners of the tuned-transformer type, discussed in the Wikipedia article "Antenna Tuner" or "ATU". It is an edited version of the original by JNRSTANLEY uploaded 2014-10-15.
English: Diagram explaining how the directivity (directive gain) of an antenna is defined. R (grey) is the radiation pattern of a typical directive antenna. It radiates most of its power in a narrow lobe oriented along the z axis.
The ground rods create a ground plane under the antenna which increases the gain. The ground rods may extend horizontally from the base, but in antennas fed by coaxial cable as shown here they are usually sloped downward to increase the radiation resistance of the antenna from the 36 ohms of a quarter wave monopole closer to 50 ohms, so the ...
At SAGE sites, the antenna azimuth was selected by command from the Air Division, and the operator could slew the antenna plus or minus ten degrees for fine adjustment. The AN/FPS-90 radar was designated a high-power model, using a QK-338A magnetron and rated at 4.5 MW peak power, versus the QK-327A magnetron at 3.5 MW peak power.
English: Diagram of an umbrella antenna, a toploaded wire transmitting antenna used in the medium frequency (MF), low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF) bands. It consists of a steel mast (grey) insulated from the ground, with diagonal wires radiating from the top, anchored to the ground in a circle around it. The feedline from the ...
The rhombic antenna is a directional wire antenna used on MF and HF bands for shortwave reception. The antenna consists of a wire suspended above the ground in the shape of a rhombus , terminated at one end by a resistor equal the the wire's characteristic impedance, about 400 to 600 ohms, and at the other end connected to the feedline to the ...
AN/SPY-6(V)3: A 3-sided phased array fixed version of the EASR, each with 9 RMAs. It has the same capabilities as AN/SPY-6(V)2. [ 14 ] Operating in S-band , it will serve as a Volume Search Radar complementing the AN/SPY-3 X-band radar on Gerald R. Ford -class aircraft carriers , starting with USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) .

In most antennas, the radiation from the different parts of the antenna interferes at some angles; the radiation pattern of the antenna can be considered an interference pattern. This results in minimum or zero radiation at certain angles where the radio waves from the different parts arrive out of phase , and local maxima of radiation at other ...
