2. Whip antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_antenna

   The whip antenna is a monopole antenna, and like a vertical dipole has an omnidirectional radiation pattern, radiating equal radio power in all azimuthal directions (perpendicular to the antenna's axis), with the radiated power falling off with elevation angle to zero on the antenna's axis. [1]

3. Whip-a-way - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip-a-way

   An antenna top cap installed on the tip of the antenna provides protection for personnel. The construction is the same as is used for sectional fishing poles. The base has a male 3/8-24 thread which is the same as is used on most ham radio and CB antennas. The antenna was 9 feet long when fully assembled.

4. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   Not to be confused with the similar shaped, but much larger axial mode helix , nor to be confused with loop-type antennas. [o] Ground plane A whip antenna with several rods extending horizontally from base of the whip in a star-shaped pattern, similar to an upside-down radiate crown, that form the artificial, elevated ground plane that gives ...

5. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

   The quarter-wave whip and rubber ducky antennas used with handheld radios such as walkie-talkies and portable FM radios are also monopole antennas. In these portable devices the antenna does not have an effective ground plane, the ground side of the transmitter is just connected to the ground connection on its circuit board.

6. Citizens band radio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_band_radio

   After the 1973 oil crisis, the U.S. government imposed a nationwide 55 mph speed limit, and fuel shortages and rationing were widespread.Drivers (especially commercial truckers) used CB radios to locate service stations with better supplies of fuel, to notify other drivers of speed traps, and to organize blockades and convoys in a 1974 strike protesting the new speed limit and other trucking ...

7. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

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

   An example of a low-gain antenna is the whip antenna found on portable radios and cordless phones. Antenna gain should not be confused with amplifier gain, a separate parameter measuring the increase in signal power due to an amplifying device placed at the front-end of the system, such as a low-noise amplifier.

8. File:Ground plane antenna diagram.svg - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ground_plane_antenna...

   English: Diagram of a ground plane antenna, a common omnidirectional monopole antenna used at VHF and UHF frequencies. It consists of a vertical whip antenna one quarter wavelength long, with 3 or 4 quarter wave rods extending from the base electrically connected to the ground side of the transmission line.

9. Dual-band blade antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-band_blade_antenna

   A blade antenna on a military aircraft in Japan. This is not a dual-band type. A dual-band blade antenna is a type of blade antenna, which is a monopole whip antenna mounted on the outside of an aircraft in the form of a blade-shaped aerodynamic fairing to reduce air drag. It is used by avionics radio communication systems.
