Most practical antennas are divided into how many classifications?
Two: Hertz Antennas and Marconi Antennas
Reciprocity is what?
The ability to use the same antenna for both transmitting and receiving.
What can you look at to determine an antennas directivity?
Radiation pattern
The ground screen is composed of what?
A series of conductors arranged in a radial pattern and buried 1 or 2 feet below the surface of the earth.
Counterpoise is used when _____?
Easy access to the base of the antenna is necessary or when the area below the antenna is not a good conducting surface, such as solid rock or sandy ground.
What is the main difficulty in VLF and LF antenna design?
The physical disparity between the maximum practical size of the antenna and the wavelength of the frequency it must propagate.
Yagi is _____?
An end fired plastic array
The inverted cone antennas are _____ polarized.
vertically
Conical Monopoles are shaped like what?
Two truncated cones connected base to base
Whip antenna lengths vary from _____?

A broadband antenna composed of five wires, each cut for one-quarter wavelength at the lowest frequency to be used, is called what?
Wire-Rope Fan Antenna
What is the reason for the high installation of UHF/VHF antennas onboard ships?
Vertical conductors such as masts, rigging, and cables in the vicinity cause unwanted directivity in the radiation patter
