Working priciple of OSJ and jpole anntennas by PY4ZBZ

Antenna manufacturer based in Brazil, produce mobile HF VHF and UHF antennas and VHF UHF Base antennas

The page provides information on a simple 50MHz J-Pole Antenna project based on the DK7ZB design. It explains the principle of the Wireman-J-Pole, the feeding process, practical mounting, and simulation results using MMANA GAL. The content aims to guide amateur radio operators in building their own J-Pole antennas for the 6-meter band.

The Bazooka antenna, a coaxial dipole, functions as an omnidirectional antenna with vertical or horizontal polarization. Patented in 1939 and refined in 2006, it features a quarter-wavelength coaxial cable with separated conductors. The outer conductor connects to a sleeve, while the inner conductor extends vertically. Initially complex, it has been simplified for versatile use, including military applications. Adding elements can modify its behavior for NVIS or Yagi-Uda configurations. Experiments in 2007 at the Campus de Pesquisas Geofísicas in Paula Freitas-PR demonstrated consistent VHF and UHF performance, showing reliable return loss measurements despite variable weather.
