How do two-wire reversible direction Beverages work, an excellent document that explains fundamentals of beverage antennas. This article details the design and performance of a reversible beverage antenna. Leveraging orthogonality between common mode and differential mode currents on a 2-wire line, this antenna facilitates independent reception from both ends. While common mode signals arrive and are summed on a transformer's secondary for common mode reception, differential mode signals induce anti-phase currents, providing individual reception. Various measurements explore impedance, transmission loss, and F/B ratio, highlighting the antenna's effectiveness and areas for improvement. Notably, increasing the antenna's height significantly improved performance.

This wire antenna for 40 and 20 meter band feature a good SWR. Horizontal side of the antenna is placed at two meters above the ground. Impedance of the antenna are depending by the height of the base from the ground and conditions of the ground

W3HH wide-band wire antenna Article in French. The W3HH antenna, also known as the Terminated Folded Dipole (T2FD), is a compact, broadband antenna for amateur radio. It operates at an angle of 20 to 40 degrees and covers frequencies from 3 to 30 MHz. The antenna features a total length of one-third of the wavelength at its lowest frequency and is fed using a 1:4 BALUN transformer for impedance matching. A termination resistor around 390 Ω optimizes performance, making it suitable for various amateur radio applications while being easy to construct and install.
