efficiency when transmitting are hard to achieve with antennas with dimensions that are much smaller than a half wavelength. The first antennas were built

antenna is an important factor. High power VLF transmitting stations use capacitively-toploaded monopole antennas. These are very large wire antennas

radiator or mast antenna is a radio tower or mast in which the whole structure is an antenna. Mast antennas are the transmitting antennas typical for long

of an antenna cannot be directly inferred from its physical size. However so-called aperture antennas such as parabolic dishes and horn antennas, have

An antenna array (or array antenna) is a set of multiple connected antennas which work together as a single antenna, to transmit or receive radio waves

fed through guy-wires. T-antennas and inverted L-antennas are used when antenna height is an issue. LF transmitting antennas for high power transmitters

inverted L antennas and umbrella antenna are used as transmitting antennas at longer wavelengths, in the LF and VLF bands. The monopole antenna was invented

three-element Yagi–Uda antennas connected together, each set tuned to a different frequency. LPDA antennas look somewhat similar to Yagi antennas, in that they
