3. 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).

4. Citizens band radio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_band_radio

   Typical center-loaded mobile CB antenna. Note the loading coil, which shortens the antenna's overall length. 27 MHz is a relatively long wavelength for mobile communications, and the choice of antenna has a considerable impact on the performance of a CB radio. A common mobile antenna is a quarter-wave vertical whip.

5. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   Composite antennas are made by combining one or more simple antenna(s) either with other simple antenna(s) or with some kind of a reflecting surface formed into a screen, or curtain, or curved dish. Usually only one of the component antennas is resonant on the design frequency, and in that typical case, the feedline connects only to the ...

6. Radio masts and towers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_masts_and_towers

   The pointed lower end of the antenna ended in a large ceramic insulator in the form of a ball-and-socket joint on a concrete base, relieving bending moments on the structure. The first, a 665 foot (203 m) half-wave mast was installed at radio station WABC's 50 kW transmitter at Wayne, New Jersey in 1931.

8. Reflective array antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_array_antenna

   Reflective array 'billboard' antenna of the SCR-270 radar, an early US Army radar system. It consists of 32 horizontal half wave dipoles mounted in front of a 17 m (55 ft) high screen reflector. With an operating frequency of 106 MHz and a wavelength of 3 m (10 ft) this large antenna was required to generate a sufficiently narrow beamwidth to ...

9. 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 ...
