radios.Theseantennasarethemostcommontypeinusetoday.Suchantennasare
approximately5incheslong,andarelikelytobeconnectedtoa clientradio(connected

CollinearArrayAntennas

Acollineararrayantennaistypicallycomposedofseverallinearantennasstackedon
topofeachother.Themorestackedelementsithas,thelongerit is,andthemoregain
ithas.Itisfedinononeend.
Theantennapatternistorroidal.Itsazimuthalbeam widthis360°(omnidirectional).Its
verticalbeamwidthdependsonthenumberofelements/length,wheremoreelements
