Dipole wall

Dipole wall in the Jülich short wave center

A dipole wall (also known as a Christmas tree antenna) is an antenna that consists of several dipole antennas stacked next to or one above the other in a vertical plane .

This increases the directivity.

When the dipoles are stacked in two planes, a curtain antenna is created .
