  2. Twin-lead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-lead

    Twin lead cable is a two-conductor flat cable used as a balanced transmission line to carry radio frequency (RF) signals. It is constructed of two, stranded copper wires, or solid copper-clad steel wires. The wires are held a fixed distance apart by a plastic ribbon that is a good insulator at radio frequencies (usually polyethylene).

  3. Television antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_antenna

    Earlier antennas used a flat cable called 300 ohm twin-lead. The standard today is 75 ohm coaxial cable , which is less susceptible to interference which plugs into an F connector or Belling-Lee connector (depending on region) on the back of the TV. [ 6 ]

  5. G5RV antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G5RV_antenna

    A transmatch (antenna tuner) is not required to use this antenna near its nominal design frequency of 14 MHz, and judicious length adjustments can sometimes include one other frequency band. All other frequencies require a transmatch. [citation needed] There are many variants of the G5RV antenna. Two variations of the G5RV design, called ZS6BKW ...

  6. 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.

  7. Antenna feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_feed

    The antenna feed system or antenna feed is the cable or conductor, and other associated equipment, which connects the transmitter or receiver with the antenna and makes the two devices compatible. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In a radio transmitter, the transmitter generates an alternating current of radio frequency , and the feed system feeds the current to ...

  8. Balun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balun

    For example, transformation of 300-Ω twin-lead or 450-Ω ladder line (balanced) to 75-Ω coaxial cable (unbalanced), or to directly connect a balanced antenna to unbalanced coaxial cable. To avoid feed line radiation, baluns are typically used as a form of common mode choke attached at the antenna feed point to prevent the coaxial cable from ...

  9. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    Transmission lines are used for purposes such as connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas (they are then called feed lines or feeders), distributing cable television signals, trunklines routing calls between telephone switching centres, computer network connections and high speed computer data buses.
