how does marine vhf antenna work?
And the common quarter-wave wire whip so often seen at the masthead uses
the mast itself as the counterpoise. If you have a metal vehicle like a car then you can let the conductive body of the car replace the four horizontal stubs (also called the ground plane). This is why you see so many car antennas with only the single quarter wave stub sticking up. They are using the metal body of the car as the lower half of the antenna. |
