Dipoles are a classic builder’s antenna, after all they are usually little more than two pieces of wire and a feedline. But as [Rob] shows us in the video below, there are a few things to consider.

DIY FM dipole antenna or half wave antenna are the most used because is easy to build and cost a few bucks but has some drawbacks like little directionality, small gain. The rf dipole antenna is build ...

The project illustrates the creation of an antenna for an access point by designing the reflector to be fed by a dipole. This antenna is so easy to make, tune, and install as the focal point on this ...

A dipole antenna is easy, right? Two wires, each a quarter wavelength long, emanate from a coax or other feedline. Unless it is an off-center dipole. The length is still the same, but you move the ...

Antennas are an essential part of radio telecommunications equipment, bridging the gap between electronic and electromagnetic signals. The shape and size of an antenna is a strong clue as to its type, ...

Much of the work of Spectrum Planning Group is based on well-established principles of 'antennas and propagation'. Propagation matters have received a lot of attention over the years and much has been ...

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 ...
