The PringlesCantenna is an ultracheap Yagi-type directional antenna that can be built for under $10. The original Pringles Yagi was designed by Andrew Clap.

This antenna modification is for the IEEE 802.11b networking protocol that operates at 2.4 GHz. It can be scaled easily to the 5 GHz frequency used by IEEE 802.11a by simply scaling the dimensions on the feed can and the excitation antenna to 2.4/5 = 48% of the dimensions shown above.

Here you will find information about wire antennas as well as directional beams.

The Bruce array is a simple, often-forgotten wire antenna array that is advantageous for 80 and 160 meters, where typical gain antennas are very large. This bi-directional broadside vertical array is only 1\4 lambda high and does not require a ground system. It offers substantially greater SWR bandwidth than the half-square or bobtail curtain. A 4-element Bruce array used by N6LF showed a gain of about 4.6 dB compared to a 1\4 lambda vertical with 8 elevated radials, with a 2:1 SWR bandwidth greater than 400 kHz. The antenna is simple and its dimensions are flexible.

Benefits and limitations of an end feed antennas. By Peter Parker VK3YE - first appeared in Amateur Radio, June 1998

This project details three variants of a vertical half-wave antenna design for the 4-meter (70MHz) amateur radio band. The antennas use end-feeding with a parallel-tuned circuit for impedance matching to 50-ohm coaxial cable. The first variant uses suspended flexible wire for portable use, the second employs a fiberglass rod with internal wire for permanent outdoor installation, and the third utilizes aluminum tent poles for quick mobile deployment. Despite the narrow bandwidth of the matching circuit, this suits the narrow 4m FM allocation well. The design offers an effective omnidirectional radiation pattern and can be constructed with readily available materials.

This multiband wire antenna it is an off centre fed dipole, with 10 feet of vertical radiator, needs no tuner on 40m, 20m and 10m and works fine on all bands above 40m with a tuner, and even below 40m on 60m, and 80m.

How to make 450 ohm open feeder

The ZS6BKW variant of the G5RV claims to offer multi-band coverage without the need for a tuner. This article looks at whether or not these claims are valid in a real life installation.

The Windom is an Off-center wire multiband Antenna. The old version was fed just by a single-wire connected on 1/3 of antenna's overall length or with an open-line feeder (later versions). Here is another model with coaxial feeder, which is compatible with Solid States - 50 Ohm output transceivers .

A multiband stealth antenna. Tuner is required. The antenna is made from a $15, 500 ft roll of black #14 insulated stranded wire, about 120 small black wire ties, and maybe 30 or so large black wire ties.

This article describes the construction of a Moxon rectangle antenna for the 70MHz (4-meter) amateur radio band. This compact two-element beam design features folded element ends, reducing its width to approximately 75% of a half-wavelength. The antenna was built using enamelled copper wire stretched over a lightweight fiberglass kite spar frame, with a direct coaxial cable feed connection. Initial testing showed a VSWR of around 1.3 with distinct nulls at 90 degrees when horizontally mounted. The author later tested vertical polarization and suggested that the antenna's compact size might allow for indoor loft installation.

Construction details for a simple but effective antenna for 2.45Ghz wireless lan use.

This Multiband Cubical Quad antenna a boomless Quad design with glass-fibre arms and a single coax wire connected to a remote antenna switch. This aerial work on 8 bands and has a 60-degree beam width. Despite achieving critical technical requirements, the antenna's three-dimensional structure presents obstacles, such as installation issues on fixed towers and risk of frost damage. The spider framework is built of stainless steel, with a compact 18-inch boom and strong angle iron arms. Tait use a variety of methods to fasten element wires and suggests placing them on the outside of the spreaders for improved insulation. The use of nylon twine or parachute cord between key attachment points allows for adjustable separation between pieces.

So you want to build a Beverage Antenna. This article offers insights on building a two-wire Beverage antenna for better reception. Key points include using long wire (at least a wavelength, ideally two), keeping it straight and away from vertical conductors, and sloping ends for noise reduction. The author recommends copper clad wire and mentions transformer design considerations for later discussion.

There are many ways to support an amateur radio antenna. Installatio of a utility pole will provide an antenna height of approximately 13 meters (40 feet) and will require no guy wires.
