Dear All,
I am trying to build an aerial for a walkie talkie, since the built in antenna
is rather pointless.
I came across the the 1/2 wave dipole.
###I understand the principle that each 1/2 of the dipole represents
1/4 of the target frequency ###
When you have made one, you have 2 wires to connect to the walkie talkie.
(1) Am I supossed to connnect one wire to the aerial of the walkie talkie
the other lead (coax screen) to ground????
(2) Will this type of aerial transmitt and recieve radio signals???
(3) Is this aerial directional transmission, if not which type is????
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) At 50Mhz the aerial would be 3 meteres, is there any techniques I can use to reduce the size, possible keywords to search textboooks/google???
YOUR REPLIES ARE GRATEFULLY WISHED
