Ultra high frequency (UHF) is the ITU designation [1] [2] for radio frequencies in the range between 300 megahertz (MHz) and 3 gigahertz (GHz), also known as the decimetre band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one tenth of a meter (one decimeter).
The first modern horn antenna in 1938 with inventor Wilmer L. Barrow. A horn antenna or microwave horn is an antenna that consists of a flaring metal waveguide shaped like a horn to direct radio waves in a beam. Horns are widely used as antennas at UHF and microwave frequencies, above 300 MHz. [1]
Small rhombic UHF television antenna from 1952. Its broad bandwidth allowed it to cover the 470 to 890 MHz UHF television band. A rhombic antenna is made of four sections of wire suspended parallel to the ground in a diamond or "rhombus" shape. Each of the four sides is the same length – about a quarter-wavelength to one wavelength per ...
A corner reflector antenna is a type of directional antenna used at VHF and UHF frequencies. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was invented by John D. Kraus in 1938. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It consists of a dipole driven element mounted in front of two flat rectangular reflecting screens joined at an angle, usually 90°. [ 1 ]
A directive antenna with moderate gain of about 8 dBi often used at UHF frequencies. Consists of a dipole mounted in front of two reflective metal screens joined at an angle, usually 90°. Used as a rooftop UHF television antenna and for point-to-point data links. Parabolic The most widely used high gain antenna at microwave frequencies and above.

A patch antenna is a narrowband, wide-beam antenna fabricated by etching the antenna element pattern in metal trace bonded to an insulating dielectric substrate, such as a printed circuit board, with a continuous metal layer bonded to the opposite side of the substrate which forms a ground plane. Common microstrip antenna shapes are square ...
A truncated biconical antenna showing the typical "mace head" shape. In radio systems, a biconical antenna is a broad-bandwidth antenna made of two roughly conical conductive objects, nearly touching at their points. [1] Biconical antennas are broadband dipole antennas, typically exhibiting a bandwidth of three octaves or more.
