A list of different antennas (antenna types) with links to detailed descriptions. Types of Antennas. This list may not reflect recent changes (). Dipole antennas are the most common type of antenna used and are omni-directional, propagating radio frequency (RF) energy 360 degrees in the horizontal plane. Particularly, wire antennas such as the short dipole and half-wave dipole antennas are presented, aperture, patch, reflector and travelling wave antenna types are presented. Before we discuss about antenna types, there are a few properties that need to be understood. RF Basics: Antenna Types and Characteristics By rfsolutions / August 22nd, 2017 / There are currently 0 comments Welcome to the second installment of our RF Basics blog series, where we’re going over some of the fundamental aspects of RF technology. These devices are constructed to be resonant at a half or quarter wavelength of the frequency being applied.
