A fractal antenna is an antenna that uses a fractal, self-similar design to maximize the effective length, or increase the perimeter (on inside sections or the outer structure), of material that can receive or transmit electromagnetic radiation within a given total surface area or volume. Such fractal antennas are also referred to as multilevel ...
WZDX. / 34.736889°N 86.533028°W / 34.736889; -86.533028. WZDX (channel 54) is a television station in Huntsville, Alabama, United States, affiliated with Fox and MyNetworkTV. Owned by Tegna Inc., the station maintains studios on North Memorial Parkway ( US 72 / 231 / 431) in Huntsville, and its transmitter is located on Monte Sano ...
A rhombic antenna is made of four sections of wire suspended parallel to the ground in a diamond or "rhombus" shape. Each of the four sides is the same length – about a quarter-wavelength to one wavelength per section – converging but not touching at an angle of about 42° at the fed end and at the far end. The length is not critical ...
In one well-documented case it was impossible to receive GPS signals in the entire harbor of Moss Landing, California due to unintentional jamming caused by malfunctioning TV antenna preamplifiers. [27] [28] Intentional jamming is also possible. Generally, stronger signals can interfere with GPS receivers when they are within radio range or ...
July 25, 2024 at 12:21 AM. HONOLULU (AP) — A Hawaii judge has temporarily blocked the state from enforcing a law requiring the licensing of practitioners and teachers of traditional Native ...
BMEWS antennas at Thule, with a modern Satellite Control Network radome on the right. In 1960, the USAF Strategic Air Command (SAC) began Operation Chrome Dome, a Cold War airborne alert program devised by General Thomas S. Power to fly nuclear-armed Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers to the borders of the Soviet Union. The flights were ...
Radiation resistance is that part of an antenna 's feedpoint electrical resistance caused by the emission of radio waves from the antenna. [ a][ 1][ 2] A radio transmitter applies a radio frequency alternating current to an antenna, which radiates the energy of the current as radio waves. Because the antenna is absorbing the energy it is ...
The VHF band is further divided into two frequency ranges: VHF low band ( Band I) between 54 and 88 MHz, containing channels 2 through 6, and VHF high band ( Band III) between 174 and 216 MHz, containing channels 7 through 13. The wide spacing between these frequency bands is responsible for the complicated design of rooftop TV antennas.
