  2. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

    The rubber ducky antenna (or rubber duck aerial) is an electrically short monopole antenna, invented by Richard B. Johnson, that functions somewhat like a base-loaded whip antenna. It consists of a springy wire in the shape of a narrow helix, sealed in a rubber or plastic jacket to protect the antenna. [1] The rubber ducky antenna is a form of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_antenna

    Whip antenna on car. A whip antenna is an antenna consisting of a straight flexible wire or rod. The bottom end of the whip is connected to the radio receiver or transmitter. A whip antenna is a form of monopole antenna. The antenna is designed to be flexible so that it does not break easily, and the name is derived from the whip -like motion ...

  4. Mast radiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_radiator

    An ideal monopole antenna radiates maximum power in horizontal directions at a height of 225 electrical degrees, about ⁠ 5 / 8 ⁠ or 0.625 of a wavelength (this is an approximation valid for a typical finite thickness mast; for an infinitely thin mast the maximum occurs at / = 0.637 [6]) As shown in the diagram, at heights below a half ...

    Counterpoise (ground system) Diagram of counterpoise under the antenna mast of an AM radio station. It consists of a network of radial copper wires suspended above the ground, connected to the transmitter feedline ground. It is suspended about 8 feet above ground, so technicians can get access to the helix house at the foot of the tower.

  6. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

    A monopole antenna is a class of radio antenna consisting of a straight rod-shaped conductor, often mounted perpendicularly over some type of conductive surface, called a ground plane. [1][2][3] The driving signal from the transmitter is applied, or for receiving antennas the output signal to the receiver is taken, between the lower end of the ...

    A new mast of similar height and capability to the old one has been built on the site. The new mast is a guyed lattice type with total structure height of 294.6 metres (967 ft). The top mounted UHF DTV antenna giving a total height of 306.2 metres (1,005 ft). The replacement mast was completed in February 2023. [15]

  9. Umbrella antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbrella_antenna

    Umbrella antenna. An umbrella antenna is a capacitively top-loaded wire monopole antenna, consisting in most cases of a mast fed at the ground end, to which a number of radial wires are connected at the top, sloping downwards. [1] One side of the feedline supplying power from the transmitter is connected to the mast, and the other side to a ...
