2. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   An elaborated and expanded version of a 'T' antenna; it is a very large wire transmitting antenna used on VLF bands for VLF time signals or long-range submarine communications. Relative to the even larger wavelengths it is used for, although the antenna is enormous on human-scale it is paradoxically an ultra-short antenna.

3. Whip antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_antenna

   A whip antenna is an antenna consisting of a straight flexible wire or rod. The bottom end of the whip is connected to the radio receiver or transmitter. A whip antenna is a form of monopole antenna. The antenna is designed to be flexible so that it does not break easily, and the name is derived from the whip-like motion that it exhibits when ...

4. Directional antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_antenna

   A high-gain antenna (HGA) is a directional antenna with a focused, narrow beam width, permitting more precise targeting of the radio signals. [1] Most commonly referred to during space missions , [ 2 ] these antennas are also in use all over Earth , most successfully in flat, open areas where there are no mountains to disrupt radiowaves.

5. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

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

   High-gain antennas have the advantage of longer range and better signal quality, but must be aimed carefully at the other antenna. An example of a high-gain antenna is a parabolic dish such as a satellite television antenna. Low-gain antennas have shorter range, but the orientation of the antenna is relatively unimportant.

6. Very high frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency

   Common uses for radio waves in the VHF band are Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and FM radio broadcasting, television broadcasting, two-way land mobile radio systems (emergency, business, private use and military), long range data communication up to several tens of kilometers with radio modems, amateur radio, and marine communications.

7. Log-periodic antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-periodic_antenna

   Being log-periodic, the antenna's main characteristics (radiation pattern, gain, driving point impedance) are almost constant over its entire frequency range, with the match to a 300 Ω feed line achieving a standing wave ratio of better than 2:1 over that range.
