  2. Dipole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

    Dipole antenna used by the radar altimeter in an airplane. Animated diagram of a half-wave dipole antenna receiving a radio wave. The antenna consists of two metal rods connected to a receiver R. The electric field (E, green arrows) of the incoming wave pushes the electrons in the rods back and forth, charging the ends alternately positive ...

  3. Antenna types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

    Inverted-'V' antenna When the two arms of a dipole are individually straight, but bent towards each other in a 'V' shape, at an angle visibly less than 180°, the dipole is called a 'V' antenna, and when the dipole's far ends are staked closer to the ground than the center, it is called an inverted-'V' (rarely, a 'Λ', Lambda antenna). The ...

  4. Radiation pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pattern

    The top shows the directive pattern of a horn antenna, the bottom shows the omnidirectional pattern of a simple vertical dipole antenna. In the field of antenna design the term radiation pattern (or antenna pattern or far-field pattern) refers to the directional (angular) dependence of the strength of the radio waves from the antenna or other ...

  5. Turnstile antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstile_antenna

    A turnstile antenna, or crossed-dipole antenna, [1] is a radio antenna consisting of a set of two identical dipole antennas mounted at right angles to each other and fed in phase quadrature; the two currents applied to the dipoles are 90° out of phase. [2][3] The name reflects the notion the antenna looks like a turnstile when mounted ...

  6. Log-periodic antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-periodic_antenna

    A log-periodic antenna (LP), also known as a log-periodic array or log-periodic aerial, is a multi-element, directional antenna designed to operate over a wide band of frequencies. It was invented by John Dunlavy in 1952. The most common form of log-periodic antenna is the log-periodic dipole array or LPDA, The LPDA consists of a number of half ...

  7. Collinear antenna array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collinear_antenna_array

    Collinear dipole array on repeater for radio station JOHG-FM on Mt. Shibisan, Kagoshima, Japan. In telecommunications, a collinear antenna array (sometimes spelled colinear antenna array) is an array of dipole or quarter-wave antennas mounted in such a manner that the corresponding elements of each antenna are parallel and collinear; that is, they are located along a common axis.

  8. Direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_finding

    Direction finding antenna near the city of Lucerne, Switzerland. Direction finding (DF), or radio direction finding (RDF), is the use of radio waves to determine the direction to a radio source. The source may be a cooperating radio transmitter or may be an inadvertant source, a naturally-occurring radio source, or an illicit or enemy system.

  9. Directional antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_antenna

    Directional antenna. A multi-element, log-periodic dipole array. A 70-meter Cassegrain radio antenna at GDSCC, California. Patch antenna gain pattern. A directional antenna or beam antenna is an antenna which radiates or receives greater radio wave power in specific directions. Directional antennas can radiate radio waves in beams, when greater ...
