PLOT INFORMATION - all plots are shown at an installed height of 35' (~11m): |
|||||||
| Horizontal antennas produce lobes related to frequency and height above ground. | |||||||
| The number of lobes is equal to 2 X the height above ground in wavelengths. | |||||||
| An antenna at a height of one (1) wavelength will have two (2) lobes. | |||||||
| An antenna at a height of 1/2 wavelength will have one (1) lobe. | |||||||
| An antenna at a height of 3/4 wavelength will have one (1) lobe, plus the beginning of another at a high angle. | |||||||
