PLANAR ARRAYS, CIRCULAR ARRAYS
Prof. Natalia K. Nikolov
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 18: PLANAR ARRAYS, CIRCULAR ARRAYS. Planar arrays
are more versatile; they provide more symmetrical patterns with
lower side lobes, much higher directivity (narrow main beam).
They can be used to scan the main beam toward any point in space...

RX3MS Helical Antennas
Vladimir Turkin, RX3MS
Below there are described three Helical Antennas.
All of the antennas were made and tested by RX3MS. The antennas
later were repeated at several amateur's stations and the antennas
showed good efficiency...

Modified Beverage
Antenna
Igor Grigorov, VA3ZNW
I took the decision.
At last! I took the decision to participate in CQ- WW- 160- Meter
Contest. My setup for the Contest was IC- 718 and Beverage Antenna
described at Antentop- 01, 2015. The
antenna had termination resistor 450- Ohm/25-Wtt. It allowed me
run the IC-718 on 50-Wtt without damage to Beverage's termination
load. So I decided participate in the Contest as a Low Power (up
to 150-Wtt) Single Operator...

Attic
Antenna for 40-, 30-, 20-, 17-, 15-, 12 and 10 meter Band
Eugene Viktorovich
The antenna was installed in the
attic. Antenna was matched with help an Automatic ATU in 40-,
30-, 20-, 17-, 15-, 12 and 10 meter amateur Bands. The Antenna
worked satisfactory on the above mentioned bands........

Simple
Magnetic Loop Antenna for a Journey
Alexander Eryomin, R2DHF
The Magnetic Loop Antenna is designed
especially for working from journey. The Antenna is ready for
operation from disassembled to assembled condition in several
minutes. Antenna contains cheap or not hard to find stuff. I spend
less $ 50.0 for kit for the antenna. ......

Beverage
Antenna. Theoretical Look on Practical Result
Igor Grigorov,
VA3ZNW
My Beverage Antenna (that was described
at: http://www.antentop.org/019/va3znw_019.htm. The antenna was successfully tested at CQ WW 160- Meter Contest (CW),
CQ WPX (2016, CW) and ARRL International CW Contest (2016). I
worked there with my IC- 718 using only 50... 90- Wt.
However it stands interesting for me what is the theoretical
data for my Beverage Antenna...

UA6AGW
Antenna V. 20-10.51 (14.0- 29.5- MHz)
Aleksandr Grachev, UA6AGW
UA6AGW Antenna V. 20-10.51 can work in frequency
range from 14.0 to 29.5 MHz that is covered 20. 17, 15, 12 and
10- meter amateur Bands. This is provided by tuning the antenna
in resonance to the used band with help of a remote- control variable
capacitor installed at the antenna. UA6AGW Antenna V. 20-10.51
is designed for easy and quick installation in the field....

Nikolay Kudryavchenko, UR0GT
Below described Low Height Narrow
Delta Antenna for the 80, 40, 20 and 15- meter Band. The Antenna
was simulated by UR0GT for DE7RAO, for his defined conditions
of possibility for antenna placement. However the antenna design
should be interesting for those amateur who has tied conditions
for antenna installation or for amateurs who participated in field
day. ....

You did not need tune the R10 (Regeneration) through the band
once it is already adjusted. The receiver was compared with two
commercial ones- TECSUN PL600 and DEGEN- 1103. My regenerative

Recently there
are lots devices that contained some RF sensitive or vice versa
RF generation parts inside. It is power AC/DC converters (aka
power supply), Computers, Computer Monitors, et cetera. Most common
way to radiate unwanted interferences or receipt unwanted interferences
is cables going apart those above mention parts....
