2. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   The category of simple antennas consists of dipoles, monopoles, and loop antennas. Nearly all can be made with a single segment of wire (ignoring the break made in the wire for the feedline connection). [citation needed] Dipoles and monopoles called linear antennas (or straight wire antennas) since their radiating parts lie along a single ...

3. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

   A loop antenna is a radio antenna consisting of a loop or coil of wire, tubing, or other electrical conductor, that for transmitting is usually fed by a balanced power source or for receiving feeds a balanced load. Within this physical description there are two (possibly three) distinct types:

4. 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 ...

5. Random wire antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_wire_antenna

   The radiation pattern of a thin wire antenna is easily predictable using antenna modeling.For a straight wire, the radiation pattern can be described by axially symmetric multipole moments with no component along the wire direction; as the length of the wire is increased, higher multipole contributions become more prominent and multiple lobes (maxima) at angles to the antenna axis develop.

6. Loading coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_coil

   To make an electrically short antenna resonant, a loading coil is inserted in series with the antenna. The coil is built to have an inductive reactance equal and opposite to the capacitive reactance of the short antenna, so the combination of reactances cancels. When so loaded the antenna presents a pure resistance to the transmission line ...

7. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

   With a vertical antenna a loading coil at the base of the antenna may be employed to cancel the reactive component of impedance; small loop antennas are tuned with parallel capacitors for this purpose. An antenna lead-in is the transmission line, or feed line, which connects the antenna to a transmitter or receiver.
