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

    The ground rods create a ground plane under the antenna which increases the gain. The ground rods may extend horizontally from the base, but in antennas fed by coaxial cable as shown here they are usually sloped downward to increase the radiation resistance of the antenna from the 36 ohms of a quarter wave monopole closer to 50 ohms, so the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_(navigation_system)

    This is because wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency (wavelength in metres = 299,792,458 / frequency in Hz), and transmitter efficiency is severely degraded if the length of the antenna is shorter than 1/4 wavelength. They used grounded or insulated guyed masts with umbrella antennas, or wire-spans across both valleys and fjords.

    Borg-Warner R-11 overdrive - 3-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive Ford used them up until 1975 in trucks. Borg-Warner T-50 transmission — 5-speed longitudinal manual - used by GM in its RWD H-Body cars and a few other limited light duty applications from 1976 to 1978;

    A double antenna tuning inductor house near the summit of Cefn Du and to the rear of the 1914 antenna, served to tune the antenna and earth screens of what were now two parts of a whole antenna, fed at the western transmitter building. The extension also had inductors at the far end, such that each part of the antenna had inductors at its ends.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...

  7. Antenna rotator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_rotator

    An antenna rotator (or antenna rotor) is a device used to change the orientation, within the horizontal plane, of a directional antenna. Most antenna rotators have two parts, the rotator unit and the controller. The controller is normally placed near the equipment which the antenna is connected to, while the rotator is mounted on the antenna ...

  8. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

    The antenna rod and its image together act like a dipole antenna of twice the length, so a monopole over an infinite, perfectly conducting plane has a radiation pattern identical to the top half of the pattern of a vertical dipole of twice the length. [1] [70] [71] For the quarter wave monopole, the antenna acts like a half wave dipole.

  9. GM 4L30-E transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_4L30-E_transmission

    The 4L30-E was an automatic transmission developed and produced by General Motors. It was developed for light-duty use in longitudinal engine rear-wheel drive vehicles, replacing the similar TH180/3L30.
