2. Random wire antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_wire_antenna

   Often random wire antennas are also (inaccurately) referred to as long-wire antennas.There is no accepted minimum size, but actual long-wire antennas must be greater than at least a quarter-wavelength (⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ λ) or perhaps greater than a half (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ λ) at the frequency the long wire antenna is used for, and even a half-wave may only be considered "long-ish" rather than "truly ...

3. Counterpoise (ground system) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpoise_(ground_system)

   It usually consists of a single wire or network of horizontal wires, parallel to the ground, suspended above the ground under the antenna, connected to the receiver or transmitter's "ground" wire. [2] The counterpoise functions as one plate of a large capacitor, with the conductive layers of the earth acting as the other plate. [2] [3]

4. Moxon antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxon_antenna

   Moxon antenna for the 20-meter band.The antenna is the faint rectangle of wires held in tension by the bent X-shaped support frame. Moxon antenna for the 2-meter band. The Moxon antenna or Moxon rectangle is a simple and mechanically rugged two-element parasitic array, single-frequency antenna. [1]

5. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   The typical height of a 'T' antenna is shorter than the quarter wavelength required for resonance. A 'T' antenna is distinguished from the similar 'L' antenna by the place where the dangling, radiating wire attaches to the horizontal cross wire: For the 'T' antenna the dangling wire attaches to the exact center of the top horizontal wire.

6. 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 ...

7. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

   Due to their omnidirectional radiation pattern, vertical monopole antennas are commonly used in terrestrial radio communication systems in which the direction to the transmitter or receiver is unknown or constantly changing, [7] such as broadcasting, mobile two-way radios, and wireless devices like cellphones and Wi-fi networks, [8] [4] because they radiate equal radio power in all horizontal ...
