2. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   Traveling wave antennas are notably one of the few types of antennas that are normally not self resonant: Electrical waves induced by received radio waves travel through the antenna wire in the direction that the arriving RF signals are travelling. Only electrical waves traveling toward the feedpoint are collected; waves traveling away from the ...

3. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

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

   For instance, if a radio wave passing a given location has a flux of 1 pW / m 2 (10 −12 Watts per square meter) and an antenna has an effective area of 12 m 2, then the antenna would deliver 12 pW of RF power to the receiver (30 microvolts RMS at 75 ohms). Since the receiving antenna is not equally sensitive to signals received from all ...

4. Traveling-wave antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling-wave_antenna

   An advantage of traveling wave antennas is that since they are nonresonant they often have a wider bandwidth than resonant antennas. Common types of traveling wave antenna are the Beverage antenna, axial-mode helical antenna, and rhombic antenna. Traveling-wave antennas fall into two general categories: slow-wave antennas, and fast-wave antennas.

5. Beverage antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverage_antenna

   The Beverage antenna or "wave antenna" is a long-wire receiving antenna mainly used in the low frequency and medium frequency radio bands, invented by Harold H. Beverage in 1921. [1] It is used by amateur radio operators, shortwave listeners, longwave radio DXers and for military applications.

6. Antenna array - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_array

   An antenna array (or array antenna) is a set of multiple connected antennas which work together as a single antenna, to transmit or receive radio waves. [1]: p.149 [2] The individual antennas (called elements) are usually connected to a single receiver or transmitter by feedlines that feed the power to the elements in a specific phase relationship.

7. Dipole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

   German physicist Heinrich Hertz first demonstrated the existence of radio waves in 1887 using what we now know as a dipole antenna (with capacitative end-loading). On the other hand, Guglielmo Marconi empirically found that he could just ground the transmitter (or one side of a transmission line, if used) dispensing with one half of the antenna, thus realizing the vertical or monopole antenna.

8. Antenna measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_measurement

   Typical antenna parameters are gain, bandwidth, radiation pattern, beamwidth, polarization, impedance; These are imperative communicative means. The antenna pattern is the response of the antenna to a plane wave incident from a given direction or the relative power density of the wave transmitted by the antenna in a given direction. For a ...

9. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

   Small antennas of any kind are inefficient, but when a full-sized antenna is not practical, making a small loop with a perimeter as close to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ wave as possible (although usually no more than 0.3 wave) makes the small loop better for transmitting, although it sacrifices or outright loses the precise "null" direction of smaller small ...
