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. 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 ...

5. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

   A common type of monopole antenna at these frequencies for mounting on masts or structures consists of a quarter-wave whip antenna with a ground plane consisting of 3 or 4 wires or rods a quarter-wave long radiating horizontally or diagonally from its base connected to the ground side of the feedline; this is called a ground-plane antenna.

6. Mast radiator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_radiator

   A typical mast radiator and antenna tuning hut of an AM radio station in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, U.S.. A mast radiator (or radiating tower) is a radio mast or tower in which the metal structure itself is energized and functions as an antenna.

7. Discone antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discone_antenna

   The discone antenna has a useful frequency range of at least 10 to 1. [2] [3] When employed as a transmitting antenna, a properly constructed discone is just as efficient as an antenna designed for a more limited frequency range. The extra bandwidth comes from the controlled taper and large termination radius of the cone.
