A dipole made from thin wire typically has a bandwidth of around 5% of the center frequency; a thicker wire will increase the bandwidth to as much as 20% but also affect other performance attributes.

So we designed and Burt Weiner constructed a second transmitting facility for the station. When we filed the application for it with the FCC we showed that the antenna was below ground level, which ...

This is the first time anyone in the United States has flown a reusable hypersonic rocket plane since the last flight of the X-15, the iconic rocket-powered aircraft that pushed the envelope of ...

Abstract This paper presents a novel printed monopole antenna for quad-band operation in four WLAN bands: ISM 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.6 GHz, and ISM 5.8 GHz. This antenna is compact, thin, lightweight, ...

WASHINGTON – RBC Signals is expanding its global network of ground stations by acquiring 10 six-meter S-band and X-band satellite-tracking antennas from Microsoft. “These antennas are ideal ...

A ground plane beneath the antenna and parallel GND wires reduced parasitic coupling, while the antenna’s position—centered on the TEG—minimized interference from other components. FEM simulations ...

1. Introduction Most monopole antennas commonly refer to quarter wavelengths (λ/4); derivatives of dipoles where one element is folded into the ground (GND) and serves as the second radiator [1] [2].

The simple dipole isn’t really that simple at all. If you’ve got antenna questions, check out [FesZ]’s new video on resonant dipoles, which is a deep dive into some of the mysteries of the ...

Yagi basics The simplest Yagi antenna consists of three elements arranged along a support beam, usually metal but can be wood or fiberglass, as alternatives (Figure 2). Only the center element is ...
