2. 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).

3. Radial (radio) - Wikipedia

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

   The radials at the antenna base provide a proper ground plane for the types of radio antennas used for long wavelengths. These "half dipole" antennas require grounding or earthing wires in order to function well, since the virtual image of the antenna electrically reflected by the mirror-like ground system is an essential part of the operation ...

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. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

   If the ground plane is large enough, the radio waves from the remaining upper half of the dipole (a) reflected from the ground plane will seem to come from an image antenna (b) forming the missing half of the dipole, which adds to the direct radiation to form a dipole radiation pattern. So the pattern of a monopole with a perfectly conducting ...

6. Ground plane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_plane

   For a monopole antenna (a), the Earth acts as a ground plane to reflect radio waves directed downwards, making them seem to come from a virtual "image antenna" (b).In telecommunications, a ground plane is a flat or nearly flat horizontal conducting surface that serves as part of an antenna, to reflect the radio waves from the other antenna elements.

7. Folded unipole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folded_unipole_antenna

   The folded unipole antenna was first devised for broadcast use by John H. Mullaney, an American radio broadcast pioneer, and consulting engineer. [2] It was designed to solve some difficult problems with existing medium wave (MW), frequency modulation (FM), and amplitude modulation (AM) broadcast antenna installations.

8. Amateur radio station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_station

   Radio amateurs build and operate several types of amateur radio stations, including fixed ground stations, mobile stations, space stations, and temporary field stations. A slang term often used for an amateur station's location is the shack , named after the small enclosures added to the upperworks of naval ships to hold early radio equipment ...

9. Transmitter station - Wikipedia

   A TV transmitter station tower in Temple Hill, Hong Kong. A TV transmitter station in Karaman, Turkey A transmitter station building in Devon, Britain. A transmitter station or transmission facility is an installation used for transmitting radio frequency signals for wireless communication, broadcasting, microwave link, mobile telephone or ...
