Introduction to Antenna Design #2 // Monopole Antennas

In this video I'll discus the basic design of a monopole antenna. In the next video I'll go over the dipole antenna, antenna gain, and electrical length. I was going to discuss electrical length in this video but I felt that it was getting too long so I'll talk about loading coils and capacitive hats in regards to dipoles and monopole in the next video.

Here are some things that I like making small antennas with:

1. RG402 Semi-Rigid Coax Cable http://amzn.to/1VE1TR9

2. Solderable SMA connectors for RG402 http://amzn.to/22FrKJt

3. Ringer Cable Stripper http://amzn.to/1sWNfc1

4. SMA female to RP-SMA male http://amzn.to/1sWN7cE

5. Tinned Copper Wire http://amzn.to/1PuZdE4

6. Variable Capacitor http://amzn.to/22FsGNG

7. Magnet Wire for Loop Antennas http://amzn.to/1VE2MJt
