    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

    Linear slot antennas emit narrow fan-shaped beams. Used as UHF broadcast antennas and marine radar antennas. Lens A lens antenna is made from a layer of dielectric, or a metal screen, or multiple waveguide structure of varying thickness, mounted in front of a feed antenna.

  5. 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.

  7. Survival craft transceiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_Craft_Transceiver

    A typical VHF survival craft transceiver. Very high frequency (VHF) survival craft transceivers (SCTs) are lightweight, portable, two-way, handheld VHF transceivers capable of radiotelephone on-scene communication between rescue units and the survival craft. Essentially these are hand-held VHF radios that are used in any survival craft, such as ...

  8. Direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_finding

    Antennas are generally sensitive to signals only when they have a length that is a significant portion of the wavelength, or larger. Most antennas are at least 1 ⁄ 4 of the wavelength, more commonly 1 ⁄ 2 – the half-wave dipole is a very common design. For longwave use, this resulted in loop antennas tens of feet on a side, often with ...

  9. Inverted vee antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_vee_antenna

    An inverted vee antenna is a type of antenna similar to a horizontal dipole, but with the two sides bent down towards the ground, typically creating a 120- or 90-degree angle between the dipole legs. It is typically used in areas of limited space as it can significantly reduce the ground foot print of the antenna without significantly impacting ...
