PPT-HAM Radio Antennas KF7CLY

Aug 2013 VHFUHF Antennas for the VHF and UHF bands are similar in many ways to HF antennas The main differences are that VHFUHF antennas are smaller and the losses caused by poor feed lines and elevated SWRs or both are more critical .

An antenna is an . electrical conductor or system of conductors used for transmission and reception of electromagnetic . waves. . A. Outer plastic sheath. B. Woven copper shield. C. Inner dielectric insulator. D. Copper core. Coax. Cable. Coaxial cable, or coax is a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Coaxial cable differs from other shielded cable used for carrying lower-frequency signals, such as audio signals in that the dimensions of the cable are controlled to give a precise, constant conductor spacing, which is needed for it to function efficiently as a radio frequency transmission line..

What is an Antenna?. An electronic device that is used either for radiating electromagnetic energy into space or for collecting electromagnetic energy for space. Any wire carrying AC current will radiate electromagnetic waves and an electromagnetic wave will induce a voltage in a length of wire. Station & Antenna Considerations. Joe . Reisert. W1JR. Joe .

This is a collection of some of the more popular, classic multi-band HF antenna types that have been used in some form or similar configuration since the early days of radio. There are many more variations on the antenna themes presented here. So, I encourage you to do more research on each type.
