I know them as fan antennas. The old UHF "bow tie" TV antennas are a good example.
The discussion about radiation resistance vs. feed-point resistance is specious. When feeding more than one resistance in series, such as a monopole impedance and a ground impedance, Ohm's law prevails. The higher resistance consumes the most power. So techniques to reduce the ground R or increase the antenna feed point R all contribute to more radiated power. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- On 3/1/2017 11:17 AM, Walter Underwood wrote: > You can also use close-spaced parallel elements that are resonant at slightly different frequencies than the driven element. This is a different way to make a broadband antenna. This design has a name, but it escapes me right now. > > wunder > K6WRU > Walter Underwood > CM87wj > http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
