I've constructed hundreds of antennae in the past. Bowtie dipole arrays, biquads, parabolic reflector dipoles, straight up yagi, logarithmic yagi, log periodic, heliacal and simple 1/4 whips. So when ...

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 ...

Lo and behold, the humble yet mighty biquad. The gain figure on one of these things is pretty impressive, you're looking at 8-10 dBi. The double biquad detailed a bit lower is about 2-3 dBi higher. A ...

It’s a dilemma many hams face: it’s easy to find yourself with a big spool of RG-11 coax cable, usually after a big cable TV wiring project. It can be tempting to use it in antenna projects, but the ...
