English: A "bow tie" UHF television antenna, mounted in attic. Also called a "grid", "panel", or "reflective array" antenna, it is widely-used for distant reception on UHF channels. This example consists of two dipole elements, each consisting of two V-shaped wires, mounted in front of a screen reflecter.
A modern form of reflective array is the "bow tie" UHF television antenna. This example has two dipole driven elements in front of a grill reflector. The "bow-tie" dipoles, consisting of two V-shaped elements, have a larger bandwidth than ordinary dipoles, allowing the antenna to cover the wide UHF television band.
A batwing or super turnstile antenna is a broadcasting antenna used at VHF and UHF frequencies, named for its distinctive shape resembling a bat wing or bow tie. Stacked arrays of batwing antennas are used as television broadcasting antennas due to their omnidirectional characteristics. [1] Batwing antennas generate a horizontally polarized signal.
Biconical antennas are broadband dipole antennas, typically exhibiting a bandwidth of three octaves or more. A common subtype is the bowtie antenna, essentially a flattened version of the biconical design which is often used for short-range UHF television reception. These are also sometimes referred to as butterfly antennas. [2]
Corner reflector UHF TV antenna from 1954 with bowtie dipole driven element. 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 ...
Also called a multi-dipole – a common broadband and / or wideband dipole variant that superficially resembles the bow-tie antenna, but is electrically different. It is a composite of pairs of dipole arms; both arms of one of the dipoles are equal-length, but each dipole pair is a different length from every other pair.
An antenna array (or array antenna) is a set of multiple connected antennas which work together as a single antenna, to transmit or receive radio waves. [1]: p.149 [2] The individual antennas (called elements) are usually connected to a single receiver or transmitter by feedlines that feed the power to the elements in a specific phase relationship.
