At the higher frequencies, one way to make a 50 Ohm antenna is to arrange
it
as a full wave loop, but make it about twice as high as wide. That is, you
end up with an antenna that is 1/3 wavelength high, and 1/6 wavelength
wide.
It's a balanced antenna, so you don't need ground, but the whole thing has
to be well up in the air.

That's an interesting one I'll remember.

However, the idea is to make an unbalanced antenna with all the elements
connected to ground. The folded monopole is an excellent example.

Thanks.
