  2. 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.

  3. List of catastrophic collapses of broadcast masts and towers

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_catastrophic...

    Total collapse during installation of 6-ton FM antenna on new 1800 ft. tower. Five technicians killed: two on the hoist riding the FM antenna up and three on the tower. Determined insufficient sized bolts on the makeshift lifting lug extension failed.

    It can have some of the highest gains of any antenna type, up to 60 dBi, but the dish must be large compared to a wavelength. Used for radar antennas, point-to-point data links, satellite communication, and radio telescopes. Horn A horn antenna has a flaring metal horn attached to a waveguide.

  5. Tower array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_array

    A tower array is an arrangement of multiple radio towers which are mast radiators in a phased array. [1] They were originally developed as ground-based tracking radars. [2] Tower arrays can consist of free-standing or guyed towers or a mix of them. Tower arrays are used to constitute a directional antenna of a mediumwave or longwave radio station.

  6. Blaw-Knox tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaw-Knox_tower

    The diamond-shaped tower was patented by Nicholas Gerten and Ralph Jenner for Blaw-Knox July 29, 1930. [5] and was one of the first mast radiators.[1] [6] Previous antennas for medium and longwave broadcasting usually consisted of wires strung between masts, but in the Blaw-Knox antenna, as in modern AM broadcasting mast radiators, the metal mast structure functioned as the antenna. [1]

  7. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

    A monopole antenna is a class of radio antenna consisting of a straight rod-shaped conductor, often mounted perpendicularly over some type of conductive surface, called a ground plane. [1] [2] The current from the transmitter is applied, or for receiving antennas the output signal voltage to the receiver is taken, between the monopole and the ...

    The station consisted of an umbrella antenna supported by a 1,200-foot (365.76 m) high central mast, which was insulated against ground, 6 guyed masts of 800-foot (243.84 m) all of which were built in 1969 and three 600-foot freestanding towers built earlier. Originally the station consisted of nine 600-foot-tall self-supporting lattice towers ...

  9. T-antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-antenna

    The name comes from its resemblance to an inverted letter "L" (Γ). The T-antenna is an omnidirectional antenna, radiating equal radio power in all azimuthal directions, while the inverted-L is a weakly directional antenna, with maximum radio power radiated in the direction of the top load wire, off the end with the feeder attached.
