Book excerpt: The contents of this book are mostly aimed at the amateur radio beginner and aspiring ones. Therefore, this book provides answers to basic questions like: What is the best HF antenna for my needs and location? What type of stand-alone antenna tuner should I use and which should I avoid? How can I hide my HF antenna from the neighbors and still get acceptable performance from it? What about lightning protection? This book will supply immediately useful answers to the above questions and many more. A properly designed and installed amateur radio HF antenna system can potentially make the humblest ham radio equipment perform like stations worth thousands of dollars. We are confident that the antenna experimenter will find the information given here priceless. Furthermore, any ham radio operator, armed with the information this book contains, will become a much better informed buyer of commercially made HF antenna systems and accessories. This special compendium edition is published in response to ham radio operators who wrote to ask that all the basic information, on and related to amateur radio HF antennas, be made available in one book instead of four, arguing that it would be more convenient. The author and publisher agree. Therefore this edition contains the complete four-book series on Amateur Radio HF Antennas published by Claude Jollet, VE2DPE.

Book excerpt: This fourth e-book in the series on Amateur Radio HF Antennas covers essential, and often illunderstood HF antenna accessories. Lightning on the horizon? You are not worried … because you installed the lightning protection devices described in this e-book, and you have taken the preventive measures as prescribed. But that’s not all. Your HF antenna is now transmitting more RF power, and your receiver is getting more milliwatts from your antenna system, because you learned what types of antenna tuners to avoid. You are now using an efficient tuner, and you even know how it works. Your antenna tuner will likely have its own SWR/PWR meter. Notwithstanding, this e-book will help you decide if you still need an outboard one, and which meter will best meet your needs. Furthermore, armed with the valuable information you read here, you finally acquired the antenna analyzer to satisfy the expectations of the antenna experimenter in you. Emboldened by your recent successful acquisitions, you now have the antenna tower you were dreaming of. You heeded the recommendations this e-book provided and, thus, avoided all the pitfalls that await the unwary. Finally, an e-book series on HF antennas would not be complete without a word on HF signal propagation. It outlines the software and online services available today which enable you to take full advantage of band openings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE DEFINITIVE ANTENNA REFERENCE--FULLY REVISED AND EXPANDED! Design and build your own antennas with the help of this unique guide. Updated and revised to provide clear answers to questions frequently asked by hobbyists and electronics technicians, Practical Antenna Handbook, Fifth Edition blends theoretical concepts with hands-on experience--requiring only high school mathematics Reorganized to flow logically from broad physical principles to specific antenna design and construction techniques, the book begins by covering the fundamentals. Then the half-wave dipole is discussed both as an excellent antenna in its own right and as a conceptual tool for predicting the performance of other designs. Transmission line impedance matching techniques--and a companion Smith chart tutorial--lead into "must have" accessories for tuning, monitoring, and troubleshooting antenna system performance. Other tools, such as antenna modeling software and network analyzer add-ons for PCs and Macs, are addressed, and concluding chapters offer fresh insights into support structures and installation techniques. NEW TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE: Characteristics of all-driven and parasitic arrays Beverages and small MF/HF receiving loops Top-loaded shunt-fed towers and other verticals Theory and design of Yagi beams Effect of real ground on propagation and antenna patterns, impedance, and efficiency Lightning protection and four kinds of ground systems Zoning and restrictive covenants COVERS A WIDE VARIETY OF ANTENNAS: Dipoles and inverted-Vs Quads, delta, and NVIS loops Wire arrays (bobtail curtain, half-square, rhombic) Verticals and shunt-fed towers Rotatable Yagi beams MF/HF receiving antennas (flag, pennant, K9AY, Beverage) Mobile and portable antennas VHF/UHF/microwave antennas And many more GO TO WWW.MHPROFESSIONAL.COM/CARR5 FOR: * Tables of worldwide geographic coordinates and antenna dimensions vs. frequency * Supplier updates * Author's blog * Additional photographs and schematics * Links to tutorials and specialized calculators

Download or read book Super Max Dipole Antennas written by Edward J. Shortridge and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A previous book titled “Super-Dipole Antennas”, which was written by this author, introduced a completely new Unified Broad-Banding Method. This method primarily consists of the use of a 1/2 wavelength Dipole, which is fed with a 1/4 (or shorter) wavelength resonant line. The amount of coupling between these two components is greatly reduced and controlled to produce a wide SWR bandwidth. This Broad-Banding method is referred to as “Critically-Coupled Broad-Banding”. This new book, titled “Super Max-Dipole Antennas” is a continuation or addition to the previous book and primarily presents Inverted V and Horizontal antennas in the 75-80 and 160m bands, which are some of the widest HF bands. Early chapters reintroduce the “Unified Broad-Banding Method”, presenting Inverted V antennas, with each of the possible “S” Broad-Banding configurations presented at various antenna heights, with a few newer configurations being presented. A totally different Broad-Banding method, which uses “Dual Inverted V” antennas, which can produce very low SWR bandwidths at all antenna heights, is then presented. Some of these were previously presented but these are new or improved versions. The latter chapters present some completely new Broad-Banding configurations utilizing “Dual Inverted V” radiators, which in itself creates Broad-Banding but by adding one of several “Critical- Coupling” configurations, “Double Broad-Banding” can be achieved. This arrangement can produce SWR bandwidths at or below an SWR of 1.5/1 across the entire bandwidth at any and all antenna heights. This appears to be a notable achievement, not occurring often. These new and unique configurations introduced will completely change the perception of how antennas are matched and Broad-Banded. Many of the configurations are very simple and easy to understand. Most have been reduced in complexity, cost of materials and can readily be assembled and these are referred to as “Super-Dipole Antennas”. Throughout this book configurations presented include charts showing how the Far-field RF gains and coaxial losses vary across each of the bandwidths, giving a good perception of the efficiency on each band. All of the antennas throughout this book have been configured with an efficiency in mind and those antennas that have higher losses are scrutinized rigorously and the true performance specifications are shown, whether they are good or bad.
