Yagi–Uda antenna

A Yagi–Uda antenna, commonly known as a Yagi antenna, is a

directional antenna consisting of multiple parallel elements in a line,
usually half-wave dipoles made of metal rods. ... Also called a "beam
antenna", or "parasitic array", the Yagi is very widely used as a high-
gain antenna on the HF, VHF and UHF bands.

television antenna from 1954, used for analog channels 2–4, 54–72 MHz (USA
channels). It has five elements: three directors (to left) one reflector (to right)
and a driven element which is a folded dipole (double rod) to match the 300 Ω
twin lead feedline. The beam direction (direction of greatest sensitivity) is to
the left.
 Horn antenna
A horn antenna or microwave horn is an antenna that consists of a flaring
metal waveguide shaped like a horn to direct radio waves in a beam. Horns are
widely used as antennas at UHF and microwave frequencies, above 300 MHz.
They are used as feed antennas (called feed horns) for larger antenna
structures such as parabolic antennas, as standard calibration antennas to
measure the gain of other antennas, and as directive antennas for such devices
as radar guns, automatic door openers, and microwave radiometers. Their
advantages are moderate directivity, low standing wave ratio (SWR), broad
bandwidth, and simple construction and adjustment.

antenna, with a bandwidth of 0.8 to 18 GHz. A coaxial cable feedline attaches to the
connector visible at top. This type is called a ridged horn; the curving fins visible inside the
mouth of the horn increase the antenna's bandwidth.
 Loop antenna
A loop antenna is a radio antenna consisting of a loop or coil of wire, tubing, or
other electrical conductor usually fed by a balanced source or feeding a
balanced load. Within this physical description there are two distinct antenna
types. The large self-resonant loop antenna has a circumference close to one
wavelength of the operating frequency and so is resonant at that frequency.
This category also includes smaller loops 5% to 30% of a wavelength in
circumference, which use a capacitor to make them resonant. These antennas
are used for both transmission and reception. In contrast, small loop antennas
less than 1% of a wavelength in size are very inefficient radiators, and so are
only used for reception. An example is the ferrite (loopstick) antenna used in
most AM broadcast radios. Loop antennas have a dipole radiation pattern;
they are most sensitive to radio waves in two broad lobes in opposite
directions, 180° apart. Due to this directional pattern they are used for radio
direction finding (RDF), to locate the position of a transmitter.

 Helical antenna
A helical antenna is an antenna consisting of one or more conducting
wires (monofilar, bifilar, or quadrifilar with 1, 2, or 4 wires
respectively) wound in the form of a helix. In most cases, directional
helical antennas are mounted over a ground plane, while
omnidirectional designs may not be. The feed line is connected
between the bottom of the helix and the ground plane. Helical
antennas can operate in one of two principal modes — normal mode
or axial mode

(E) Insulating supports for the helix,

 DISCONE ANTENNA

A discone antenna is a version of a biconical antenna in which one of

the cones is replaced by a disc. It is usually mounted vertically, with
the disc at the top and the cone beneath.

Omnidirectional, vertically polarized and with gain similar to a dipole,

it is exceptionally wideband, offering a frequency range ratio of up to
approximately 10:1. The radiation pattern in the vertical plane is
quite narrow, making its sensitivity highest in the direction of the
horizon and rather less for signals coming from relatively close
