Cebik Moxon Rectangles

For radio amateurs seeking compact, directional antenna solutions, the Moxon Rectangle offers an attractive alternative to traditional two-element Yagis. This resource compiles several articles by L. B. Cebik, W4RNL, exploring the Moxon Rectangle design, which provides gain comparable to a full-size two-element array but with a significantly improved front-to-back ratio and a direct 50-Ohm feedpoint match. The collection covers both wire arrays, particularly for lower HF bands, and rotatable aluminum beam constructions, addressing various aspects of this popular antenna configuration.

The articles delve into specific band applications, including designs for 10 meters, 40 meters, and 2 meters, alongside discussions on multi-banding techniques and pattern characteristics. Comparisons are drawn between the Moxon and other antenna types, such as VK2ABQ Squares, highlighting the Moxon's advantages in terms of size and performance. Practical construction notes are provided for both wire and aluminum versions, offering insights into building these antennas for different operating environments.
