StarStarStarStar

Helical Antenna

StarStarStarStar

Consists of a conducting wire wound in the form of a helix. Used in various applications, including satellite communication and space applications, particularly for circularly polarized radio waves.

StarStarStarStar

Yagi-Uda Antenna

StarStarStarStar

A directional antenna consisting of multiple parallel elements in a line, usually half-wave dipoles. Used for high gain requirements such as satellite communications and long-distance shortwave broadcasting.

StarStarStarStar

Bowtie Antenna (Butterfly Antenna)

StarStarStarStar

A type of dipole antenna with flared ends, resembling the shape of a bow tie. It is a form of a biconical antenna with wide bandwidth and is commonly used for television reception and short-range UHF television broadcasting.

StarStarStarStar

Parabolic Antenna

StarStarStarStar

Uses a parabolic reflector to direct the radio waves. Provides high gain and directional characteristics. Commonly used for satellite dishes, radio telescopes, and microwave relay links.

StarStarStarStar

Patch Antenna (Microstrip Antenna)

StarStarStarStar

A type of low-profile antenna that is mounted on a surface. Known for its range of frequencies and used in portable wireless devices, including mobile phones, WLAN applications, and GPS devices.

StarStarStarStar

Dipole Antenna

StarStarStarStar

A simple antenna that consists of two identical conductive elements such as metal wires or rods. Typically used for VHF and UHF radio frequencies in various applications including amateur radio and television broadcasting.

StarStarStarStar

Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA)

StarStarStarStar

Characterized by a structure of multiple half-wave dipoles of varying sizes to operate over a wide range of frequencies. Typically used for television broadcasting and as a rooftop antenna for FM radio.

StarStarStarStar

Loop Antenna

StarStarStarStar

A coil of wire or tubing that emits electromagnetic radiation. Primarily used in receivers for AM radios, direction finding, and at lower frequencies because of its magnetic field reception.

StarStarStarStar

Phased Array Antenna

StarStarStarStar

An array of antennas in which the relative phases of the respective signals feeding the antennas are varied so that the effective radiation pattern is reinforced in a desired direction and suppressed in undesired directions. Utilized in radar systems, space communication, and advanced wireless communication systems.

StarStarStarStar

Horn Antenna

StarStarStarStar

Features a flaring metal horn shape to direct radio waves. Noted for its high gain, directivity, and wide bandwidth. Often employed in microwave systems like radar and satellite tracking.

StarStarStarStar

Slot Antenna

StarStarStarStar

Consists of a slot cut out from a piece of metal, allowing it to radiate. Favored for its flush mounting capabilities, usually used in navigation systems of aircraft and for military radars.

StarStarStarStar

Fractal Antenna

StarStarStarStar

Uses a fractal, self-similar design to maximize lengths, or 'loading' of material within a given total surface area or volume. Known for its multi-band and wideband characteristics, it is used in a range of applications including cellular phones and wearable technology.

StarStarStarStar

Monopole Antenna

StarStarStarStar

A half-dipole antenna consisting of a single rod or conductor mounted over a ground plane. Primarily utilized for VHF and UHF broadcasting, they offer an omnidirectional pattern in the horizontal plane.

StarStarStarStar

Panel Antenna

StarStarStarStar

A flat, rectangular, or square antenna that emits a directional radio beam. Commonly employed in cellular base stations, point to point communications, and certain radar applications.

StarStarStarStar

Dish Antenna

StarStarStarStar

A specific type of parabolic antenna that has a parabolic reflector in the shape of a dish. This design focuses radio waves to a focal point, used extensively in satellite TV reception, radio astronomy, and data communication links.
