In this application note we will explore antenna theory and design using EZNEC, an easy-to-use antenna simulator. We will measure the antenna’s characteristic impedance through our application board.

Generally, the biggest problem a new ham radio operator will come across when starting out on the high frequency (HF) bands is finding physical space for the antennas. For a quick example, a dipole ...

We don’t know if [OH8STN] has a military background, but we suspect he might since his recent post is about a “DIY Man Portable Magnetic Loop Antenna.” “Man-portable” is usually a military designation ...

The only way to determine the characteristics of an antenna is to measure its performance since theory alone cannot predict the actual results. The fields generated by antennas are extremely complex ...

Despite the advent of the internet and streamed services, there is still an interest in traditional broadcasting. With that interest comes a need to measure the associated electromagnetic field ...
