Whip Antennas

A whip antenna is a flexible rod antenna, usually between 1/10 and 5/8 wavelength long, supported on a base insulator. These capacitive antennas or electric doublets are insulated from the structure (plane, car or other product) and the whole assembly radiates. The standard, wire monopole is probably the most widely used antenna on existing mobile telecommunication applications with the normal mode helix coming in a close second. The reason for the widespread use of wire monopoles and helices in mobile terminal applications is that whip antennas are simple and relatively inexpensive to manufacture.

 


Products & Services
