A dipole antenna is easy, right? Two wires, each a quarter wavelength long, emanate from a coax or other feedline. Unless it is an off-center dipole. The length is still the same, but you move the ...

Antennas are an essential part of radio telecommunications equipment, bridging the gap between electronic and electromagnetic signals. The shape and size of an antenna is a strong clue as to its type, ...

Dipoles are a classic builder’s antenna, after all they are usually little more than two pieces of wire and a feedline. But as [Rob] shows us in the video below, there are a few things to consider.

DIY FM dipole antenna or half wave antenna are the most used because is easy to build and cost a few bucks but has some drawbacks like little directionality, small gain. The rf dipole antenna is build ...

This application note describes the design of a folded dipole antenna for CC2400, CC2420, CC2430, CC2431, and CC2480. The CC2400 is a true single-chip, general- purpose transceiver for the 2.4 GHz SRD ...

This article was written by Louis Frenzel, author of Principles of Electronic Communications Systems, that addresses this topic and much more. Antennas are much more than simple devices connected to ...

In recent columns, I've discussed options for TV-transmitting antennas. This month, I'll look at the other end of the path – outdoor TV-receiving antennas. I'll describe desirable attributes for DTV ...

Meaning "two poles," a dipole antenna is the simplest type of antenna, consisting of an electrically conducting wire or rod one half the length of the maximum desired wavelength. The wire or rod is ...
