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. 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 ...

4. Ocean Guardian - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Guardian

   Ocean Guardian is the manufacturer of Shark Shield shark repellent devices. The Ocean Guardian electronic devices create an electromagnetic field to deter shark attacks and are used by surfers , scuba divers , snorkelers , spearfishers , ocean kayak fishers , swimming areas off boats and for ocean fishing.

5. Numerical Electromagnetics Code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_Electromagnetics...

   In antenna terms, each of the conductors making up the antenna is known as an element. [9] To calculate the net result, NEC breaks the antenna's elements into a number of sampled points, called segments. It uses simple calculations based on the diameter of the conductor and the wavelength of the signal to determine the induced voltage and ...

6. Driven and parasitic elements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driven_and_parasitic_elements

   Yagi antenna for UHF TV reception with 22 parasitic elements; 4 reflectors attached to the vertical bracket at left, and 18 directors attached to the horizontal beam at right. The driven element is attached to the black box next to the reflectors. The antenna is most sensitive to radio waves coming from the right, parallel to the antenna's axis.

7. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

   Small-loop receiving antennas are also almost always resonated using a parallel-plate capacitor, which makes their reception narrow-band, sensitive only to a very specific frequency. This allows the antenna, in conjunction with a (variable) tuning capacitor, to act as a tuned input stage to the receiver's front-end, in lieu of a preselector.

8. Television antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_antenna

   A short antenna pole next to a house Multiple Yagi TV aerials. Antennas are commonly placed on rooftops and sometimes in attics. Placing an antenna indoors significantly attenuates the level of the available signal. [19] [20] Directional antennas must be pointed at the transmitter they are receiving; in most cases great accuracy is not needed ...

9. Antenna diversity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_diversity

   Antenna diversity is especially effective at mitigating these multipath situations. This is because multiple antennas offer a receiver several observations of the same signal. Each antenna will experience a different interference environment. Thus, if one antenna is experiencing a deep fade, it is likely that another has a sufficient signal ...
