Linear Array Theory- Part III : by: Prof.
Natalia K. Nikolova
Dear friends, I would like to
give to you an interesting and reliable antenna theory. Hours
searching in the web gave me lots theoretical information about
antennas. Really, at first I did not know what information chose
for ANTENTOP.
Now I want to present to you one
more very interesting Lecture - it is LECTURE 17: Linear Array
Theory- Part III : N-element linear array
with uniform spacing and non-uniform amplitude: binomial array;
Dolph-Tschebyscheff array; directivity
and design considerations……

L-Vertical
Antenna for Nearest Objects for The 40- and 20- meter Bands: By:
Nikolay Kudryavchenko, UR0GT
One L-Vertical Antenna may works
at the two amateur Bands- 40- and 20- meters. The main feature
of the antenna is that it may be located at nearest conductive
objects- for example the antenna may be placed near water drain.
Antenna may be placed at a wall of a house. Inside a house there
are always a lot of conductive objects- for example electrical
main, refrigerator, metal tubes of house ventilation system and
so on.......

Universal
Beverage Antenna: by: Igor Grigorov,
va3znw, Richmond Hill, Canada
Beverage Antennas are widely used at commercial and military radio communication.
In commercial communication Beverage Antenna as usual is used
as a receiving antenna. However, in military communication Beverage
Antenna is used for both purposes- for receiving and transmitting
applications. Transmitting/receiving Beverage Antenna was used
in DX- Pedition EK1NWB on to Kizhy
island where the antenna (against skepticism of some persons)
illuminated its good job. So when again in Toronto I have changed
my QTH and the QTH allowed me install Beverage Antenna, I did
not hesitated...

Windom is one of the oldest and
reliable antennas that used in ham radio. There are lots modifications
of Windom Antenna (or in other words Off Center Dipole Antenna).
One of such modification was optimized by UR0GT. The antenna was
optimized for 40, 20 and 10- meter bands. ..

# 48 (Autumn 2014), pp.: 19- 22.
There are below described experimenters
with UA6AGW Antenna made by Sergey Tetuyhin,
R3PIN. Sergey would like create an UA6AGW Antenna for 2- meter
Band. He did not have schematic of the antenna for 2- meter Band.
He made two antennas that he believed would work at the 2- meter
Band. However his attempt was not successful. But Sergey during
the experimenters found some unusual sides at UA6AGW Antenna.

Dipole Antenna
for 40- and 20- meter Bands: By: Vasily
Perov, DL1BA (ex UK8BA)Credit Line:
Forum from: www.cqham.ru
Because I have no lots space at my backyard for antenna installation
I like do experiments with shortened antennas. Below described
one of my experimental shortened dipole antenna
for 40- and 20- meter Bands. It takes for me only 1 and half hour
for installation and tuning of the antenna. After that the dipole
antenna was tested at CQ WW Contest (2015). I made 300 QSOs using
100- Wtts going into the antenna....

In my opinion
the explanation how the DL1BA Antenna (Antentop
01- 2015, pp: 53-55, Dipole Antenna for 40- and 20- meter Bands)
is working at the 20- meter Band is very simple. Parts of the
antenna- there are long wire (5.6-meter length) before inductor,
inductor and short wire (1.5- meter length) after inductor - make
1.5- lambda dipole at the 20- meter Band....…

W3DZZ Antenna is widely used among radio amateurs.
The antenna shows the efficiency at several bands (as usual from
3 to 5) at minimal stuff to do it. The described below antenna
is a modification of the W3DZZ Antenna. The antenna could work
at 80- 40- and 15- meter Bands. ....

Antenna for 50
and 70- MHz Band: By: Alex Karakaptan, ES4UY, UY5ON
The antenna was
designed several years ago, when I got Estonian call sign ES4UY.
With the call I able use 50 and 70- MHz bands from Estonia. Need
to say that I was in a very rare square- K049CJ. So I need an
antenna for those bands. Restricted place could not allow me to
create something serious. ....

"Das DARC Antennenbuch". However
at the book there was given only brief description of the unit.
The tuner takes my attention and by trial-and-error method I found
the design (data for Inductors and Capacitors) of the tuner. ....

Insulation
RX Transformer: By: Igor Grigorov, va3znw
At my shack I have
used a Coaxial Antenna Switch Protax
CSR- 5G to change devices switched to my antenna. The switch is
very convenient for amateur operation in the Air. I can easy switch
antenna from one transceiver (ICOM- 718) to another one (K1) or
turn antenna to general coverage receiver (Hallicrafters
S-85). I use the receiver to check propagation in the Air and
just to catch some interesting HF- stations....

Receiver for Beginner Ham: By: Viktor Lomanovich, UA3DH
The HF Tube Regenerative
Receiver is a classical design of the Tube Era. Somebody gave

got very good result. I have received lots of amateur stations
with the receiver. Then the receiver was remade by me in general
coverage HF- Receiver. I could receive with great quality forbidden
BBC, Voice of America lots broadcasting stations and easy found
at those times “Numbers Stations.” …

For operation in the

by 300- Ohm Ladder Line. To match the antenna with my transceiver
I use to ATU MFJ-962D. The ATU has symmetrical transformer at
output. The transformer could provide good symmetrical operation
… but with antennas that has low reactance. My Delta has significant
reactance through amateur's bands. So the concept is not for me....
