antennas and feedlines

Question 1

horizontallh polarized antenna

Answer 1

dipole mounted so the connductor is parallel to the earths surface

Question 2

direction that radiation is strongest from a half wave dipole antenna in free space

Answer 2

beroadside to the antenna

Question 3

length of a dipole

Answer 3

wavelength = 300/frequence 95% of this

Question 4

how to make an antena resonate on a higher frequency

Answer 4

shorten it

Question 5

approximate length of a 6 meter dipole antenna

Answer 5

112 inches

Question 6

orientation of electric field

Answer 6

perpendicular to earth

Question 7

length of a wuarter wavelength vertical antenna

Answer 7

19 inches

Question 8

loading

Answer 8

shortening an antenna, inserting an inductor in he radiating portion of teh antenna to make iit electrically longer

Question 9

beam antenna

Answer 9

antenna that concentrates signals in one direction

Question 10

rubber duck antenna disadvantage

Answer 10

does not transit or receive as effectively as full sized antennas

Question 11

advantages of a roof mounted antenna

Answer 11

procicdes most unifor aradiationn pattern

Question 12

why use a properly mounted 5/8 wavelength antenna

Answer 12

lower angle of radiation and more gain than a 1/4 antenna, improved coverage
