  2. William I. Orr - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_I._Orr

    William Ittner Orr (1919–2001) was an engineer, educator, communicator, and ham radio operator. [1] [2] [3] He was the American author of numerous amateur radio and radio engineering texts. He is best known as the author of The W6SAI Antenna Handbook [4] and fondly remembered for the 1959 Radio Handbook. [5]

  3. T-antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-antenna

    The left and right sections of horizontal wire across the top of the 'T' carry equal but oppositely-directed currents. Therefore, far from the antenna, the radio waves radiated by each wire are 180° out of phase with the waves from the other wire, and tend to cancel. There is a similar cancellation of radio waves reflected from the ground.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Antenna types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

    If used for transmitting, the resistor makes traveling-wave antennas inefficient, since the resistor absorbs any radio wave after the wave has made a single pass through the antenna wire, as opposed to a resonant antenna in which radio waves cycle back-and-forth several times, giving the signal multiple opportunities to radate.

  7. Counterpoise (ground system) - Wikipedia

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

    [citation needed] To perform adequately, the counterpoise should extend at least half a wavelength from the antenna tower in all directions. [8] In designing a counterpoise for a medium-wave radio station, for example, radio-waves are a maximum of 566 metres (1,857 ft) long. Therefore, the counterpoise should extend 282 metres (925 ft) from the ...

  8. Beverage antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverage_antenna

    The AT&T receiving Beverage antenna (left) and radio receiver (right) at Houlton, Maine, used for transatlantic telephone calls, from a 1920s magazine. The Beverage antenna or "wave antenna" is a long-wire receiving antenna mainly used in the low frequency and medium frequency radio bands, invented by Harold H. Beverage in 1921. [1]

  9. Quad antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad_antenna

    A two-element quad antenna used by an amateur radio station A 4-element amateur radio quad antenna. The two men working on it show the scale. The wire loops are almost invisible, suspended on the ends of the crossed supports. A quad antenna is a type of directional wire radio antenna used on the HF and VHF bands.
