  2. Moxon antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxon_antenna

    Moxon antenna for the 20-meter band.The antenna is the faint rectangle of wires held in tension by the bent X-shaped support frame. Moxon antenna for the 2-meter band. The Moxon antenna or Moxon rectangle is a simple and mechanically rugged two-element parasitic array, single-frequency antenna. [1]

  3. Quad antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad_antenna

    A quad antenna is a type of directional wire radio antenna used on the HF and VHF bands. A quad is a Yagi–Uda antenna ("Yagi") made from loop elements instead of dipoles: It consists of a driven element and one or more parasitic elements; however in a quad, each of the loop elements may be square, round

  4. Driven and parasitic elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driven_and_parasitic_elements

    Yagi antenna for UHF TV reception with 22 parasitic elements; 4 reflectors attached to the vertical bracket at left, and 18 directors attached to the horizontal beam at right. The driven element is attached to the black box next to the reflectors. The antenna is most sensitive to radio waves coming from the right, parallel to the antenna's axis.

  5. Log-periodic antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-periodic_antenna

    The Yagi and the LPDA designs look very similar at first glance, as they both consist of a number of dipole elements mounted along a support boom. The Yagi, however, has only a single driven element connected to the transmission line, usually the second one from the back of the array, the remaining elements are parasitic. The Yagi antenna ...

  6. Yagi–Uda antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yagi–Uda_antenna

    A Yagi–Uda antenna, or simply Yagi antenna, is a directional antenna consisting of two or more parallel resonant antenna elements in an end-fire array; [1] these elements are most often metal rods (or discs) acting as half-wave dipoles. [2]

  7. Antenna types - Wikipedia

    Assuming the building is about 20 feet tall, the length of wire seems to be on the order of 100 feet long – too short to be an HF Beverage antenna. Random wire antenna Moxon (1993) describes the random-wire antenna as an "odd bit of wire". [14] [page needed] It is the typical informal antenna erected for receiving shortwave and AM radio.

  8. Television antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_antenna

    Outdoor antennas provide up to a 15 dB gain in signal strength and 15-20 dB greater rejection of ghost signals in analog TV. [6] Combined with a signal increase of 14 dB due to height and 11 dB due to lack of attenuating building walls, an outdoor antenna can result in a signal strength increase of up to 40 dB at the TV receiver.

  9. J-pole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-pole_antenna

    The J-pole antenna is an end-fed omnidirectional half-wave antenna that is matched to the feedline by a shorted quarter-wave parallel transmission line stub. [5] [1] [6] For a transmitting antenna to operate efficiently, absorbing all the power provided by its feedline, the antenna must be impedance matched to the line; it must have a resistance equal to the feedline's characteristic impedance.
