and decided that a single 15-meter conductor would do the job. Unlike other tape measure antennas we’ve seen, [Tom] just harvested the blades from two 7.5-meter tape measures, connected them end ...
It’s well-suited for antennas, because nearly all antennas need two components: the “metal phase” (the conductor), and the “dielectric phase,” which isn’t conductive. The researchers ...
Most ham radio operators will build an antenna of some sort when they first ... as coax wires only have a center conductor and a shield wire, but thanks to the skin effect which drives currents ...
