2. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

   A typical mast radiator monopole antenna of an AM radio station in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The mast itself is connected to the transmitter and radiates the radio waves. It is mounted on a ceramic insulator to isolate it from the ground. The other terminal of the transmitter is connected to a ground system consisting of cables buried under ...

3. 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.

4. J-pole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-pole_antenna

   The J-pole antenna is an end-fed omnidirectional half-wave antenna that is matched to the feedline by a shorted quarter-wave parallel transmission line stub. [5] [1] [6] For a transmitting antenna to operate efficiently, absorbing all the power provided by its feedline, the antenna must be impedance matched to the line; it must have a resistance equal to the feedline's characteristic impedance.

5. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   It is usually fed at its center with the feedline counter-sloping perpendicularly, away from the slanting antenna wire, towards a stake in the ground near the base of the mast. [e] The sloper's far end is attached by a cord to a short pole or fastened by an insulated cord to a ground anchor. It is popular because it requires only a single mast ...

6. Guyed mast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyed_mast

   Guyed masts are frequently used for radio masts and towers. The mast can either support radio antennas (for VHF, UHF and other microwave bands) mounted at its top, or the entire structure itself can function as a mast radiator antenna (for VLF, LF, MF). In the latter case, the mast needs to be insulated from the ground. Guyed radio masts are ...

7. Folded unipole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folded_unipole_antenna

   The folded unipole antenna is a type of monopole mast radiator antenna used as a transmitting antenna mainly in the medium wave band for AM radio broadcasting stations. It consists of a vertical metal rod or mast mounted over and connected at its base to a grounding system consisting of buried wires.

8. Counterpoise (ground system) - Wikipedia

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

   Counterpoises are typically used in antenna systems for radio transmitters where a good earth ground connection cannot be constructed.. Monopole antennas used at low frequencies, below 3 MHz, such as the mast radiator antennas used for AM broadcasting, require the radio transmitter to be electrically connected to the Earth under the antenna; this is called a ground (or earth).

9. Shortwave broadband antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortwave_broadband_antenna

   Even automatic antenna tuners will not work with frequency hopping signals. A less ambitious idea of “broadband antenna” (often called “wideband”) is an antenna that continuously covers the proportionally widest amateur band, that spans 3.5–4.0 MHz (a 14% bandwidth), [b] without requiring an antenna tuner. There are many such designs ...
