The video showcases the setup of a 300 MHz oscillator, a 100W radiofrequency amplifier, and a dipole antenna for transmitting radio waves, leading to the fluorescence of a nearby light bulb. It demonstrates the presence of standing waves on the dipole antenna and how intensity varies along its length. Additionally, the usage of a copper pipe as a receiving antenna is explored, showing changes in intensity depending on alignment and proximity to the transmitter. Finally, a B field antenna sensitive to magnetic fields is introduced, revealing brightness variations in different orientations. The video offers insightful observations on radio wave transmission and reception phenomena.

This page offers an online antenna designer to calculate the dimensions for a collinear dipole antenna at a specified frequency. The collinear dipole antenna is constructed with multiple 1/2 wavelength sections separated by a 1/4 wave phasing stub in the form of a coil. It requires a ground-plane to operate and can be used for both receiving and transmitting purposes. The antenna can be made from common copper wire, with thicker wire providing a wider bandwidth. The calculations are based on radio waves traveling at the speed of light. Ideal for ham radio operators looking to build their own antenna for improved reception and transmission.

This web page offers an online antenna designer tool for hams to calculate the dimensions needed to construct a J Pole antenna for any desired frequency. The J Pole antenna is a simplified version of the Slim Jim antenna, radiating and receiving signals in an omni-directional pattern. It does not require a ground plane, making it suitable for indoor mounting. With the ability to be made from common household wiring, this antenna performs well for both receiving and transmitting purposes. The calculator is based on radio waves traveling at the speed of light and provides metrics in both imperial and metric units.
