Directional High Frequency Antenna

Directional High Frequency Antenna: Directional High Frequency Antenna are likely to differ from lower-frequency ones for two reasons. These are the HF transmission/reception requirements and the ability to meet them.…

Antenna Coupling

Antenna Coupling: Antenna Coupling : Low and medium frequency antennas are the ones least likely to be of resonant effective height and are therefore the least likely to have purely…

Fundamentals of Transmission Lines

Fundamentals of Transmission Lines: Fundamentals of Transmission Lines (in the context of this book) are considered to be impedance-matching circuits designed to deliver power (RF) from the transmitter to the antenna,…
