	Dipole antenna :: Radio-Electronics.Com
		Often the effect is to lower the impedance, and when used in some antennas the feed impedance of the dipole element may fall to ten ohms or less, and methods need to be used to ensure a good match is maintained with the feeder.
		Although the antenna may be an electrical half wavelength, or multiple of half wavelengths, it is not exactly the same length as the wavelength for a signal travelling in free space.
		Typically it is between 0.96 and 0.98 and is mainly dependent upon the ratio of the length of the antenna to the thickness of the wire or tube used as the element.

	Antenna (electronics)
		The yagi antenna is a directional variation of the dipole with parasitic elements added with functionality similar to adding a reflector and lenses (directors) to focus a filament lightbulb.
		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.

		An omnidirectional antenna is an antenna system which radiates maximum power uniformly in all directions.
		The perfectly omnidirectional antenna is the isotropic antenna, a theoretical construct derived from actual antenna radiation patterns and used as a reference for specifying antenna gain and radio system effective radiated power.
		An often encountered types of an omnidirectional antenna are a whip antenna, a vertically oriented dipole antenna, or the discone antenna.

	Dipole Antenna :: Electronics and Radio Today
		The dipole antenna or dipole aerial is one of the most important and also one of the most widely used types of antenna.
		The impedance is measured in ohms, and to ensure that the maximum amount of power is transferred between the feeder and the antenna, it is necessary to ensure that the antenna and feeder impedances are matched, i.e.
		Additionally many antennas have to be able to operate over large bandwidths and a standard dipole may be unable to fulfil this requirement adequately.

	Doug's R-E Loop Article Page
		Loop antennas, when used at low frequencies, are subject to that effect because their size is aonly a fraction of a wavelength, and they pick up interference from a signal derived from the electric, rather than the magnetic, field.
		That is done by coupling the output of the vertical antenna to the loop so that the voltage induced in the loop by the coupling is 90 degrees out of phase with the voltage the passing wave induces in the vertical antenna.
		When designing an active whip antenna, we considered the whip to be a voltage source with a high internal impedance requiring current amplification, and (to reduce attenuation due to a mismatch) we wanted the preamplifier also to have a high input impedance.

	GPS antenna
		A GPS receiver is composed of an antenna unit for receiving high frequency satellite signals and a processing unit for processing the signals to compute positional coordinates of the GPS receiver.
		A GPS antenna is flat, and small in size, and generally this antenna and a high-frequency circuit board (for effecting processings for the received radio waves) are combined together to form a unit (GPS antenna unit).
		In the GPS, active antenna electronics adjust the gain and the phase of a multi-element antenna array in order to steer the antenna pattern away from an interference source which may serve to jam the satellite ranging signals.
