Build Your Own Bazooka Dipole: A VHF/UHF vertical dipole made from coax

From WH2T Dr Ace's Double Bazooka Coaxial Dipole

Build a double bazooka coaxial dipole, broad-band dipole antenna

The Little Stick antenna is an aluminium version of the Vertical Bazooka design which was made from coax.

An efficient program to calculate dimensions of coax dipoles, or bazooka antennas considering velocity length of different coax cables. Express dimensions in feet/inch and meters/cm. Freeware by VE3SQB

Here is a very simple 70cms dipole from Harald PD2HFE, which uses a single piece of RG-213 coaxial cable 34 cms in length.

The Double Bazooka Dipole is a very efficient single band antenna which is very quite, and does not require the use of a balun. This antenna consists of coax (RG58) or other 50 ohm type with the shield split at the center and the feedline attached to the open ends

Notes on bazooka antennas by Katunk: a portable field antenna, sometimes called the double bazooka or a coaxial antenna.

The Bazooka-antenna was developed by the staff of M.I.T. for radar use. The original Bazooka used coaxial cable for the entire radiating elements.

Double Bazooka Antenna, a simple coax based and broad band antenna you can easily build

A bazooka antenna design in German with dimensions for 20m and 40m band with RG174 coax cable stronger than the common RG58

The Double Bazooka Dipole is a very efficient single band antenna which is very quite,and does not require the use of a balun. This antenna consists of coax (RG58) with the shield split at the center and the feedline attached to the open ends.

The HF horizontal loop has been around for many years now. This article includes a YouTube video and discusses the reasons for looking at this antenna, its design, and its installation. There are some on-air comparisons against three regular double bazooka (coax) dipoles and the Par SWL End-Fed antenna.

A bazooka coax antenna for 40 meters band design by CA6TYS

A six meter band 3 element yagi beam antenna project with shortened elements using coax cables with the outer ends stripped and the center conductor shorted in somewhat of a Bazooka antenna.

Sort of similar to the one of the 6m omni. Instead of using twin-lead, this design makes use of a more or less regular double bazooka antenna (coaxial dipole). Your attention shall be drawn to the available standart literature, such as Rothammel. In order to "compute" the dimension, Karl Rothammel mentioned that the total length of the dipole shall be 95% of the free-space wavelength. The short-circuit bridges (closing the folded dipole) are to be placed at a distance-fraction being equal to the velocity factor of the coax cable used, which will be 66% using RG-58 or RG174.

A quarter wave vertical omni-directional antenna for 7 MHz. Formulas for dimensions in feet and meters are provided. Ideal radial angle is between 35° and 45°. Velocity factor (Vf) varies based on coax type.

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.

The Dipole Bazooka Antenna for 40 meters is a popular choice among amateur radio operators. Its design allows for easy construction using materials like RG58 coaxial cable and PVC. Measurements are calculated using specific formulas; for instance, at a frequency of 7,100 MHz, the total length is approximately 19.74 meters. This antenna offers a performance range of 97% to 99%, with an impedance of 49 to 52 ohms. Additionally, it can handle up to 1 kW of power and requires no modifications for connection.
