A dipole antenna is easy, right? Two wires, each a quarter wavelength long, emanate from a coax or other feedline. Unless it is an off-center dipole. The length is still the same, but you move the ...

Dipoles are a classic builder’s antenna, after all they are usually little more than two pieces of wire and a feedline. But as [Rob] shows us in the video below, there are a few things to consider.

DIY FM dipole antenna or half wave antenna are the most used because is easy to build and cost a few bucks but has some drawbacks like little directionality, small gain. The rf dipole antenna is build ...

After moving and installing an anechoic chamber, we needed to test the shielding effectiveness. We decided to build a matched set of 900 MHz Dipole antennas. We started by designing a half wave dipole ...

I've constructed hundreds of antennae in the past. Bowtie dipole arrays, biquads, parabolic reflector dipoles, straight up yagi, logarithmic yagi, log periodic, heliacal and simple 1/4 whips. So when ...

Size is important, but the correct size for the TV-frequency band is most important. The simplest antenna is a half-wave ...

Antennas are an essential part of radio telecommunications equipment, bridging the gap between electronic and electromagnetic signals. The shape and size of an antenna is a strong clue as to its type, ...

Meaning "two poles," a dipole antenna is the simplest type of antenna, consisting of an electrically conducting wire or rod one half the length of the maximum desired wavelength. The wire or rod is ...
