Try to grasp that:

The Marconi antenna is vertical. It consists of an antena and the
counterpoise. The counterpoise can be in form of the vertical wire. So such
monopole is vertical.

The "dipole" antenna with the coax and without the balun is exactly like te
above set.
The only difference is that the second set is horizontal.

When you have a vertical 1/4 wavelength antenna with a vertical 1/4
wavelength "counterpoise" below it, you don't have a monopole, you
have a dipole.

No, it is not "obvious", it is nonsense to call a dipole a Marconi antenna.

A Marconi antenna by definition is an end fed monopole one quarter wavelength
high.

It is not the dipole antenna.


A dipole most certainly IS a dipole.

Howver you are too much of an ignorant, ineducable, babbling idiot to be

You were totally unable to understand something as simple as:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

and started babbling about the colors on the graphics showing you haven't
a clue what the article was actually saying.

You wrote: "Only end fed monopoles need radials". Do you mean that "Only end
fed monopoles need ground"?


No, I meant what I said.

You, however, are too much of an ignorant, ineducable, babbling idiot to be
able to understand it.

To be precise, only end fed monopoles need a counterpoise.

The counterpoise can consist of either radials, a large conductive area
fabricated for the purpose, or the Earth itself IF the surface conductivity
is high enough.

The words "ground", "radial", and "counterpoise" in relation to antennas
are three diffent things with three different meanings but you are too
much of an ignorant, ineducable, babbling idiot to be to understand that.

A quarter wave, end fed vertical monopole with a set of radials does NOT
need a connection to ground.

The radials serve as the counterpoise.

As you are an ignorant, ineducable, babbling idiot you will not understand
any of this and will reply with babbling nonsense.

No, it is not as the generally used meaning of the word "dipole" without

MOST are oriented horizontally.

The only difference is that the second set is horizontal.


The difference is one is a quarter wave long and end fed and the other is

We (the group excluding Szczepan) have some good discussions.
Szczepan can be amusing in the views he puts forward. I can't work out
whether he is trying to tease us or really is confused.



Which is why I made my reference to Allen Funt of "Candid Camera." Funt
created preposterous situations and yet people tried their darndest to make
something real out of it.

I recall a car with no engine whose driver rolled it downhill into a service
station. The driver, Funt's attractive co-host, insisted that she had
driven around town all day and wanted the mechanic to check the car because
it didn't seem to have much power. In a perfect world, when the mechanic
popped the hood, he would have laughed and the "bit" would be spoiled. But
no! He tried eight ways to explain to her that she COULDN'T have been
driving around town. She just sweetly continued the hoax as several other
mechanics came over to check out the action. Classic!

Szczepan is that car with no engine and we are those mechanics. :-)

In " NASA" antennas (eg. phase radars) the each "sphere" is fed from special

If are the two sphere we have a dipole (Hertzian dipole).

In Marconi antenna is only one "sphere". It is the monopole.

No It doesn't, it describes a monopole as as dipole using the image in the
ground as the second leg!!

But what is does show is a dipole with one arm connected to the braid of a
coax!!!! Which of course you ignored!!!!!


The braid = the shield.

The braid and the arm are together the counterpoise.

Have you the same voltages on the braid and on the coax "live" wire?

If not, than you heve the monopole. But it is nothing wrong if in your

You seem to think that the braid of the coax is a ground and the
voltage there is always zero.

But that is not how things work.

Hello Szczepan. The monopole and dipole aerials are definitely two different
aerials and it would be wrong to call a monopole a dipole.
It seems that you need some help to understand aerials. The ARRL
(http://www.arrl.org/shop/Antennas/ ) and RSGB
(http://www.rsgbshop.org/acatalog/Onl...tennas_37.html) both
sell helpful books on aerials.

Monopole antenna: "One side of the antenna feedline is attached to the lower
end of the monopole, and the other side is attached to the ground plane,
which is often the Earth."

Dipole antenna: "A dipole antenna is a straight electrical conductor
measuring 1/2 wavelength from end to end and connected at the center to a
radio-frequency (RF) feed line. This antenna, also called a doublet, is one
of the simplest types of antenna, and constitutes the main RF radiating and
receiving element in various sophisticated types of antennas. The dipole is
inherently a balanced antenna, because it is bilaterally symmetrical.
Ideally, a dipole antenna is fed with a balanced, parallel-wire RF
transmission line"

The Hertz dipole was symmetrical.

The radio-amateurs use the name "dipole" for a monopole.
It is not wrong because they do not use the name monopole.

No It doesn't, it describes a monopole as as dipole using the image in the
ground as the second leg!!

But what is does show is a dipole with one arm connected to the braid of a
coax!!!! Which of course you ignored!!!!!


The braid = the shield.


No ****?

What a stroke of irrelevant brilliance.

The braid and the arm are together the counterpoise.


No, they are not, you babbling idiot.

Have you the same voltages on the braid and on the coax "live" wire?


Not without a ballancing device of some sort.

If not, than you heve the monopole.


What an utter idiot; a monopole has one physical element while a dipole
has two physical elements.

That is the meaning of the prefixes "mono", which means one, and "di",
which means two.

You are a babbling, ineducable, idiot.

Hello Szczepan. The monopole and dipole aerials are definitely two
different
aerials and it would be wrong to call a monopole a dipole.


Monopole antenna: "One side of the antenna feedline is attached to the lower
end of the monopole, and the other side is attached to the ground plane,
which is often the Earth."


Yes, and there in ONE element.

Dipole antenna: "A dipole antenna is a straight electrical conductor
measuring 1/2 wavelength from end to end and connected at the center to a
radio-frequency (RF) feed line. This antenna, also called a doublet, is one
of the simplest types of antenna, and constitutes the main RF radiating and
receiving element in various sophisticated types of antennas. The dipole is
inherently a balanced antenna, because it is bilaterally symmetrical.
Ideally, a dipole antenna is fed with a balanced, parallel-wire RF
transmission line"


Yes, and there are TWO elements.

The Hertz dipole was symmetrical.


A dipole is symmetrical by definition, idiot.

The radio-amateurs use the name "dipole" for a monopole.


No, they do not, you babbling, ineducable idiot.

It is not wrong because they do not use the name monopole.


It is nonsense because radio amateurs do NOT call a monopole a dipole.

You are a babbling, ineducable idiot.

above set.


No, it is not as the generally used meaning of the word "dipole" without
any qualifiers is a half wave, center fed antenna


Radio-amateurs have "dipole" where one leg is end fed and the other is
connected to the grounded shield of the coax.


A dipole is fed with a balancing device of some sort between the
transmission line and the antenna of the transmission line is unbalanced.

Than is how EVERYONE does it, not just radio amateurs.

And the shield of the coax is often NOT grounded nor is it required to be
grounded for the antenna to operate properly.

If it is grounded, it is for OTHER reasons than antenna operation such
as electrical safety or the elimination of static build up, which has
absolutely NOTHING to do with the antenna operationg as an antenna.

You should know that the true dipole is directional.
Are your "dipoles" directional?


Dipoles are not directional, they are bidirectional in the plane of the
antenna and ALL dipoles are bidirectional in the plane of the antenna.

Just a FYI to jump in over here.... According to the General
Class Amateur License Exam, a Dipole has figure 8 resonance off both
ends of the dipole at 90 degrees from the poles. If, however, the
dipole is lowered below 1/2 the wave length, the dipole becomes
omni-directional. Just thought I'd throw that in.... The exact
wording may be a little different, but.... Just wanted to toss that
into the flames and ignite it a little more...

Well, the height over ground will effect the pattern, but it does not
become omnidirectional.

As you get lower in height, the null of a free space or high antenna
starts going away.

At wavelengths over ground:

2, ends are 30 db down from broadside

1, about 22 db down

..5, about 10 db down

..25, about 3 db down

So it approaches omnidirectonal as you get lower but is only omnidirectional
at zero height.

EZNEC is your friend.

You want this moron to think in three dimensions when he can't tell the

Monopole have always the two elements: the antenna and the counterpoise.

That is the meaning of the prefixes "mono", which means one, and "di",

So monopole has the one pole. The end of the counterpoise is not the pole.
In your "dipole" the counterpoise is in the form of one elevated radial.

It is your misunderstanding that:

1. amateurs always connect coax directly to a dipole. they don't.
those that are in the know will use a balun.

2. the braid of the coax is "ground". this is not true. there will
be voltage at the braid of the coax at the antenna end when a balun
is not used.

It is your misunderstanding that:

1. amateurs always connect coax directly to a dipole. they don't.
those that are in the know will use a balun.

In the past, many amateurs did connect coax directly to a dipole. The
reason is that - on most occasions - it worked perfectly well, and they
'got away with it'. It was only when problems occurred (interference to
TV, radio, Hi-Fi etc) that much thought was given to the need for a
balun.

In modern times, there is a lot more opportunity for amateurs to
interfere with - and suffer interference from - all kinds of domestic
equipment, and the use of a balun (or twin feeder) has more-or-less
become an absolute necessity.

2. the braid of the coax is "ground". this is not true. there will
be voltage at the braid of the coax at the antenna end when a balun
is not used.


Szczepan is obviously making the fundamental mistake of thinking that,
because the coax screen is grounded at the transmitter end (or at least
connected to the chassis of the transmitter), it is therefore at zero RF
potential - and that it is still at RF potential at the far (antenna)
end, where it is connected directly to the 'other' leg of the dipole.
This is wrong.

He is then assuming that if the coax screen is at zero RF potential
where it is connected to the other leg of the dipole, then the other leg
of the dipole is also at zero RF potential (and doesn't radiate). This
is wrong.

He is therefore concluding that as both the coax screen and the other
leg of the dipole are at zero RF potential, the only part of the antenna
system that is 'RF live' is the leg of the dipole which is connected to
the inner conductor of the coax - which is what happens with a monopole.
As a result, he is then claiming that a dipole is really only a
monopole. This is wrong.

However, I'm still convinced that Szczepan knows far more about radio
than he appears to, and is cunningly trying to get us to explain
phenomena which maybe we really don't know as much about as we like to
think we do!

Transmission lines and antennas are two separate things.

ALL of my dipoles ARE electrically symmetrical as they are fed either with

transmission line and the antenna.
