A Reversible Beverage at ZL3IX - 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.

Halo Antenna for 50 MHz - The antenna described in this article is for 50 MHz, but the design can be scaled for any band, including VHF, UHF, or even the higher HF bands. The antenna is nothing more than a square loop of wire, approximately 30" (or ~76cm) per side. The loop is fed in the middle of one side, and the opposite side to the feed point has a gap in it.

HexBeam Antenna Explained - A hexagonal beam is a form of the Yagi antenna which is based on parasitic principles developed early in the last century in Japan for achieving gain in one direction.How HexBeam antennas works. A hexagonal beam operates exactly like Yagi antenna, but instead of a driven element that is straight like a dipole, it is a wire bent into the shape of the letter M.
