L antenna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An L-antenna is one for Very long , long , medium and short wave used transmitting or receiving antenna .

It consists of a wire that is suspended from insulators on two masts or towers, which may also be isolated from earth . In contrast to the T-antenna , a wire runs near the structure and not in the middle between the structure, as it does with these, down to the transmitter or receiver. A matching transformer is often required at this point .

In the past, L-antennas - like T-antennas - were often used as receiving antennas for LW and MW broadcasts as well as transmitting antennas for these areas. Today they have mainly been replaced by fish trap antennas and self-radiating transmission masts (for transmission purposes) and by frame and ferrite antennas for reception purposes .

The L antennas are technically related to the long wire antenna .
