  2. Twin-lead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-lead

    Twin lead is mainly used as an antenna feedline at shortwave and VHF frequencies, to connect radio receivers and transmitters to their antennas. It can have significantly lower signal loss than miniature flexible coaxial cable , the main alternative type of feedline at these frequencies; for example, type RG-58 coaxial cable loses 6.6 dB per ...

  3. Antenna feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_feed

    In a receiving antenna it transfers the tiny RF voltage induced in the antenna by the radio wave to the receiver. In order to carry RF current efficiently, feed lines are made of specialized types of cable called transmission line. The most widely used types of feed line are coaxial cable, twin-lead, ladder line, and at microwave frequencies ...

  4. G5RV antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G5RV_antenna

    A transmatch (antenna tuner) is not required to use this antenna near its nominal design frequency of 14 MHz, and judicious length adjustments can sometimes include one other frequency band. All other frequencies require a transmatch. [citation needed] There are many variants of the G5RV antenna. Two variations of the G5RV design, called ZS6BKW ...

  5. Balun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balun

    In television, amateur radio, and other antenna installations and connections, baluns convert between impedances and symmetry of feedlines and antennas. [ 8 ] For example, transformation of 300-Ω twin-lead or 450-Ω ladder line (balanced) to 75-Ω coaxial cable (unbalanced), or to directly connect a balanced antenna to unbalanced coaxial cable.

  6. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

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

    In transmission, a radio transmitter supplies an electric current to the antenna's terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves (radio waves). In reception , an antenna intercepts some of the power of a radio wave in order to produce an electric current at its terminals, that is applied to a receiver ...

  7. 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.
