Question 527

Which of the following describes a Zepp antenna?

  1. A horizontal array capable of quickly changing the direction of maximum radiation by changing phasing lines
  2. An end-fed half-wavelength dipoleCorrect answer
  3. An omni-directional antenna commonly used for satellite communications
  4. A vertical array capable of quickly changing the direction of maximum radiation by changing phasing lines

Explanation

The Zeppelin antenna is a half-wave radiator fed at one end rather than at the center, originally through open-wire line trailed from an airship. Feeding at the end means feeding at a voltage maximum, so the feed point impedance is very high.
