ANTENNA BOOK 21TH EDITION - A.R.R.L.-

EURO 40,00

All the information you need to design your own complete antenna system.

Since the first edition in September 1939, radio amateurs and professional engineers have turned to The ARRL Antenna Book as THE source of current antenna theory and a wealth of practical how-to construction projects. Use this book to discover even the most basic antenna designs-- wire and loop antennas, verticals, and Yagis--and for advanced antenna theory and applications. Many of the antennas in this edition benefit directly from advances in sophisticated computer modeling.

This 21st edition has been extensively revised to include information you can use to build highly optimized or specialized antennas. The book includes new content on Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) techniques, phased arrays, S-parameters as used in modern vector network analyzers (VNA), Beverage receiving antennas, mobile “screwdriver” antennas, ionospheric area-coverage maps, and much…much more.

Fully searchable CD-ROM included!

INTERNATIONAL ANTENNA COLLECTION VOL.1 - RSGB/ARRL

By Dr. George Brown, M5ACN
This book is a collection of over 50 of the very best articles published on antennas from around the world. The book is wide ranging and offers solutions to many problems experienced by the antenna enthusiast. The articles include antenna designs for most amateur bands. Stealthy and invisible antennas are covered alongside many interesting traditional designs. The book also benefits from two articles specially commissioned for inclusion here. The first, by Professor Mike Underhill, G3LHZ, of the University of Surrey at Guildford, UK, titled The Truth About Loops, gives an exhaustive account of the performance of the small loop. The second article is titled, A Brief Overview of the Performance of Wire Aerials in their Operating Environments, from Jack Belrose, VE2CV. Great care has been taken to ensure that there are antennas to cover the range from 136 kHz to 1.3 GHz, receiving and transmitting, fixed and mobile. Everyone interested in antenna design and construction will find something in this book.

BUILDING SUCCESSFUL HF ANTENNAS - RSGB -

NEW
By Peter Dodd, G3LDO

Any metal structure can be made to radiate - to work as an antenna - provided it can be persuaded to accept RF power from a transmitter. But is it working effi ciently? How can it be improved?

Well-known antenna expert Peter Dodd explains what makes an effective HF antenna, how to build one and how to measure its performance. The book deals with real locations, such as small gardens, apartment blocks, lofts, etc and how to obtain optimum performance within the constraints of your location.

The construction of all manner of antennas is described including single and multi-band antennas, with and without the need for an ATU. There are also simple wire antennas, loops alongside beams such as the Quad and Yagi. There are variations on these which use less space. Feeding, matching and tuning are included as well as how to terminate coaxial cable in a variety of plugs. Peter’s construction experience really comes into its own in the chapters on hardware, construction and masts. There is advice on how to check that your antenna is working using a few simple pieces of test equipment.This is quite simply everything you will need to make the best use of your location, and to build a successful HF antenna.

ANTENNAS FOR VHF - RSGB -

NEW
By Ian Poole, G3YWX

The VHF, UHF and microwave bands provide an exciting opportunity for experimentation with antennas. This book from well known author Ian Poole is a fascinating guide to what can be achieved in these bands.

Antenna sizes at these frequencies mean that they do not occupy great amounts of space and most people can experiment with constructing their own antennas. Antennas for VHF and above, provides both the basic theory and constructional details for many antenna designs. Included there are different types of antenna from dipoles to Yagis, and verticals to log-periodic antennas and parabolic reflectors. The reader is taken through the essentials in Ian's easy-to-understand fashion with details of the way the antenna works and the constructional information needed. The reader will also find helpful chapters covering measurements and installation techniques.

Antennas for VHF and above, is a mine of information for anyone wishing to understand or construct antennas for the VHF, UHF and microwave bands. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in antennas, whether a newcomer or experienced hand.

Antenna Compendium Volume 4 - ARRL EDITION -

When the sunspots are low, head for the low-bands--seven articles are devoted to 80 and 160 meters, including some truly gargantuan arrays. Don't we hams love to dream about what rock-crushing low-band signals we'd have, if only we could get that new 200-foot tower? But what happens if we only have a 50-foot tower?

There are articles for mobile work too. And, a section on portable or temporary antennas that will get you thinking about Field Day in June, regardless of what time of year you read it.

The original edition of The ARRL Antenna Compendium Volume 4 included a 3.5-inch diskette with data files and software applications. Many of the articles contained within this book make reference to these files and programs. The software diskette is not included in this printing, because most of the programs will now longer function on modern computers. However, the original software is still available, free of charge, for downloading from the ARRLWeb at www.arrl.org/notes/4912/.
