Small antennas of any kind are inefficient, but when a full-sized antenna is not practical, making a small loop with a perimeter as close to 1 / 2 wave as possible (although usually no more than 0.3 wave) makes the small loop better for transmitting, although it sacrifices or outright loses the precise "null" direction of smaller small ...
the upper half of a vertical full-wavelength loop antenna mounted on the ground (not to be confused with the visually similar but electrically different half-square antenna described below, under array antennas, [u] nor to be confused with the halo antenna, described next). The full loop is cut at two opposite points along its perimeter, and ...
Tests done by J.S. Belrose (1994) [7] showed that though the conventional T²FD length is close to a full-size 80 meter (3.5–4.0 MHz) antenna, the antenna starts to suffer serious signal loss both on transmit and receive below 10 MHz (30 m), with the 80 meter band signals −10 dB down (90% power loss) from a reference dipole at 10 MHz.

A folded dipole is, technically, a folded full-wave loop antenna, where the loop has been bent at opposing ends and squashed into two parallel wires in a flat line. Although the broad bandwidth, high feedpoint impedance, and high efficiency are characteristics more similar to a full loop antenna, the folded dipole's radiation pattern is more ...
Multiple rhombic antennas can be connected in an end-to-end fashion to form MUSA (Multiple Unit Steerable Antenna). MUSA arrays can receive long distance, short wave, horizontally polarized downcoming waves. The rhombic remains one of the least complex medium-gain options for sustained long distance communications over point-to-point circuits.
The AT&T receiving Beverage antenna (left) and radio receiver (right) at Houlton, Maine, used for transatlantic telephone calls, from a 1920s magazine. The Beverage antenna or "wave antenna" is a long-wire receiving antenna mainly used in the low frequency and medium frequency radio bands, invented by Harold H. Beverage in 1921. [1]
