Monopole Rod Antennas

Schwarzbeck Logo

 

A monopole antenna is half of a dipole antenna on top of a conducting ground plane. The most common type is a quarter-wave monopole where the antenna is approximately 1/4 of wavelength of radio waves. The radiation pattern is limited to above the ground plane of the antenna.

The radiation pattern of monopole antennas above a ground plane are also known from the dipole result.
The only change that needs to be noted is that the impedance of a monopole antenna is one half of that of a full dipole antenna. For a quarterwave monopole (L=0.25λ), the impedance is half of that of a half-wave dipole, so Zin = 36.5 + j21.25 Ohms. This can be understood since only half the voltage is required to drive a monopole antenna to the same current as a dipole (think of a dipole as having +V/2 and -V/2 applied to its ends, whereas a monopole antenna only needs to apply +V/2 between the monopole antenna and the ground to drive the same current). Since Zin = V/I, the impedance of the monopole antenna is halved.

Schwarzbeck Option MIL461_bonding_kit for VAMP 9243

 

The active monopole antenna VAMP 9243 consists of a vertical rod and an impedance matching amplifier.
The rod has a standard length of 1m (other rod length on request) and can be considered as short compared to the wave length in the frequency range 9 kHz-30 MHz.
The conversion factor is independent of the frequency because of the extremely high impedance of the matching amplifier.
The circuit gives best results of noise and intermodulation for a conversion factor (antenna factor) of +10 dB and sensitive measuring receivers are able to use the
whole dynamic range of the antenna.
