	Antenna - Partstrain.com
		It is physically an array of conductors intended to transmit an electromagnetic field as a response to an applied alternating voltage as well as the alternating electric current associated with it.
		On the other hand, antennas can also be situated into an electromagnetic field in order for the field to bring on an alternating current in the antenna and a voltage right between its terminals.
		The length of the antenna, as well as the materials from which they are made of really bring a big difference in the quality of reception that the car stereo receives.

	Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Complex impedance of an antenna is related to the electrical length of the antenna at the wavelength in use.
		The (large) loop antenna is similar to a dipole, except that the ends of the dipole are connected to form a circle, triangle (delta loop antenna) or square.
		The Phased array antenna is a group of independently fed active elements in which the relative phases of the respective signals feeding the elements are varied in such a way that the effective radiation pattern of the array is reinforced in a desired direction and suppressed in undesired directions.

	antenna on Encyclopedia.com
		ANTENNA [antenna], in electronics, system of wires or other conductors used to transmit or receive radio or other electromagnetic waves (see radio); sometimes called an aerial.
		Distribution of the waves depends on the design of the antenna; the transmitting antennas of a radio station might be designed to emit waves in all directions, while an antenna used for radar or space communications would be designed to focus the waves in a single direction.
		The antenna has a characteristic frequency related to its physical dimensions; a wire of a given length may be inherently tuned to radio waves whose wavelengths are simple fractions or multiples of the length of the wire.

	CDMA FAQ: Antenna questions (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This refers to the dipole, the distance from the tip of the antenna to the opposite end of the antenna buried inside the phone somewhere (usually near the bottom).
		So cell phone manufacturers generally try to make the antenna 5/8's of a waveform, because if the antenna is at a slant, its cross-section relative to the impinging waveform will be near to the ideal half a wavelength.
		If the antenna is exactly one wavelength long and is exactly perpendicular to the impinging waveform, it will pick up essentially no signal at all.

	Homebrew antenna shootout
		Published on the internet and in a fine book by Rob Flickenger, the net admin for O'Reilly, this design for a do-it-yourself, VERY inexpensive antenna made from a recycled junkfood container is as cool as the other side of the pillow.
		Waveguide antennas don't use the director assembly (the washery bits), and therefore are much simpler to build.
		For the antennas I was building, I was using different measurements based on the antenna design material I had been reading.

	Use a Surplus Primestar Dish as an IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Antenna
		The resulting antenna has about 22 db of gain, and is fed with 50 ohm coaxial cable.
		This antenna is an offset fed dish, which means that the feed horn (our juice can) is not positioned as much in the way of an incoming signal, so it doesn't shadow the dish.
		This antenna modification is for the IEEE 802.11b networking protocol that operates at 2.4 GHz.

		The antenna cannot be cut and is specifically designed to resonate at the design frequencies with proper phasing between the elements.
		The difference in performance for a typical installation relies on the antenna’s ability to clear the roofline and provide line-of-sight signal from the vehicle to the cell site, and its ability to focus the energy along the horizon for maximum range.
		Antenna Specialists patented solid state coupling box allows the cable to be shortened during installation with no retuning needed.

	How to build a tin can waveguide antenna
		One side is N-female for connecting the cable from your wireless equipment, and the other side has a small brass stub for soldering on wire.
		It's location is derived from formulas that use the frequency that the antenna will operate at and the can diameter.
		That means that how you rotate the antenna will affect the strength of your signal.

	Pringles Yagi Antenna
		An antenna is an amplifier in a sense.
		A useful fact here is that one antenna can and does serve for more than one frequency, but generally the ones in the middle will work better than the ones on the ends.
		To build one, take two of the directional portions of the 18" antenna, which are the parts made from the washers, metal rod and pvc with cap, and fine a 90 degree, 125 degree, or T pvc/abs connector that attaches the ends of the tubes of the directional elements.

	Antenna signal galvanic isolation
		A ground loop in your AV system caused by antenna connection or TV cable is very common if you have your computer connected to the same system.
		There is one disadvantage of this the circuit breaks the continuous shielding of the antenna cable which makes you antenna cable pick up radio interference more easily (for example radio interference picked by ground loop itself).
		Isolator used in one old TV had 330 pF 500 VAC capacitor which connects the center of the coaxial cable to tuner and the shield of the coaxial cable was connected to TV chassis through high voltage feedthrough capacitor (value unknown).

	antenna
		Therefore, antenna radiation patterns or plots are a very important tool to both the antenna designer and the end user.
		The collinear antenna was historically used by repeater sites, stacking various 1/2 wave dipole elements on top of each other for increased gain connected by some equipment to correct for phase error between the elements of the array.
		Unfortunately, technical references containing slot antenna information rarely contain practical design information required to build such antennas reliably, and few experimenters have access to the resources needed to fully analyze the radiation properties of their antennas over wide bandwidths.

	The Original WINDOM Antenna, with complete construction details! (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Given that the impedance of most commonly available coax is either 50 or 72 ohms and since many wire antennas present an impedance of 200 to 600 ohms or more at the feed point, direct connection of the coax to wire antennas hits us with a significant signal loss due to the antenna impedance mismatch.
		An antenna tuner is not out of the question, as it will provide an even better match between the transceiver and Windom, with less coupling loss and thus, greater transfer of energy (RF) to the antenna.
		The Windom antenna is an off-center fed dipole with an unbalanced coax feedline.

		Small, light, easily moved, the reception of this small un-amplified antenna is FAR better than that of the Terk one I upgraded from (and a fraction of the cost, I might add).
		I should reiterate that this antenna is un-amplified, which means that unlike other HDTV antennas, you don't have to plug it into an outlet.
		Being directional, you have to pivot the antennae to get reception for certain stations (which I expected), but once it was facing in the correct direction, I didn't get a signal any stronger than I did with my old bunny ears.

		Antenna Topics From G3YCC -- Loaded with antenna projects -- At least 20+ projects to choose from.
		The reason for the coil in commercial dual band antennas is to phase the antenna currents so you actually end up with two colinear elements which both radiate at low angles, reinforcing each other and providing gain.
		Given that the gain advantage of a 5/8 wave antenna over a 1/4 wave antenna is probably not noticeable except under the most difficult conditions, and even then may or may not make a difference, my suggestion is to stick with the 1/4 wave antenna.
