Everything you need to Know about Discone Antenna

Image
  Discone antenna gives a bandwidth of 10:1 with an omnidirectional characteristic. It is perfect to use this antenna with VHF and UHF antennas. You can use a Wide Band Discone Antenna for many radio communication applications. It is also used for military purposes and monitoring homes. This blog describes everything about the Discone antenna , its uses, benefits, and drawbacks in detail. We will also discuss many things related to this antenna. What Is a Discone Antenna? A discone antenna is a kind of biconical antenna. Unlike other antennas, this antenna has a disk instead of cones. This disk is located at the top of a cone. Some discone antennas have a metal disk on top of a metal cone. You can use discone antenna for frequencies of 30 MHz and above. However, you can also this antenna for a lower frequency range. Cone and disc in discone antennas are made from fine quality metal sheets. Normally, these antennas contain 6 to 16 rods within a lower region. This antenn...

Everything you need to Know about Log Periodic Antennas

Log Periodic Antenna is a kind of antenna that offers gain and directivity. It offers wide bandwidth and it is larger than Yagi Antenna. Apart from that, the antenna also works on several frequencies. It is also used for UHF terrestrial TV reception. It is used in several other applications where wide bandwidth and directivity are required. Now, let us discuss more on this antenna in this blog. We will also discuss the various benefits of using a log-periodic antenna with its working style. What is a Log Periodic Antenna? The term Log Periodic Antenna is not new. It is a kind of antenna that works on a wide frequency bandwidth. It offers good gain and directivity and performs better than other kinds of antennas. Log periodic antenna has impedance and radiation characteristics that work as a logarithmic function of the excitation frequency. Another term for this antenna is a log-periodic beam antenna or a long-period array. It is a fractal antenna or self-similar array. What i...
