  2. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

    The antenna is made of a narrow helix of wire like a spring, which functions as the needed inductor. The springy wire is flexible, making it less prone to damage than a stiff antenna. The spring antenna is further enclosed in a plastic or rubber-like covering to protect it. The technical name for this type of antenna is a normal-mode helix. [7]

  3. J-pole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-pole_antenna

    The J-pole antenna is an end-fed omnidirectional half-wave antenna that is matched to the feedline by a shorted quarter-wave parallel transmission line stub. [5] [1] [6] For a transmitting antenna to operate efficiently, absorbing all the power provided by its feedline, the antenna must be impedance matched to the line; it must have a resistance equal to the feedline's characteristic impedance.

  4. Airband - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airband

    Antenna array at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The VHF airband uses the frequencies between 108 and 137 MHz. The lowest 10 MHz of the band, from 108 to 117.95 MHz, is split into 200 narrow-band channels of 50 kHz. These are reserved for navigational aids such as VOR beacons, and precision approach systems such as ILS localizers. [2] [3]

  5. Discone antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discone_antenna

    The discone antenna has a useful frequency range of at least 10 to 1. [2] [3] When employed as a transmitting antenna, a properly constructed discone is just as efficient as an antenna designed for a more limited frequency range. The extra bandwidth comes from the controlled taper and large termination radius of the cone.

    The Baofeng UV-5R [note 1] is a handheld radio transceiver manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Baofeng.This model was the first dual band radio (VHF/UHF) to be successfully distributed by a Chinese brand.

  7. Antenna types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

    A horn antenna has a flaring metal horn attached to a waveguide. It is a simple antenna with moderate gain of 15 to 25 dBi, used for applications such as radar guns, radiometers, and as feed antennas for parabolic dishes. Slot Consists of a waveguide with one or more slots cut in it to emit the microwaves. Linear slot antennas emit narrow fan ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Radio scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_scanner

    An Icom IC-R5 hand-held scanner A GMRS radio that also has scanning capabilities. A scanner (also referred to as a radio scanner) is a radio receiver that can automatically tune, or scan, two or more discrete frequencies, stopping when it finds a signal on one of them and then continuing to scan other frequencies when the initial transmission ceases.
