What is this antenna?

Yeah think about it as a beam antenna.

No that's wrong.

When you use a dipole (doesn't matter if it is vertical or horizontal), it is a complete system as i described, two parts of the signal are being radiated. The reflection of the signal has little to do with the actual rf ground, there is a need to balance the system and the dipole does that.

I thought I explained this before?

Here is a thought, take a look at what a balanced and unbalanced feed line is all about.

 

See what i mean...To many different exainations online..
Im lost now..I give up....

Why get frustrated Craig?

I mean it is rf, it is an animal that can't be tamed and is unpredictable.

Just relax and take one step at a time.

 

Not trying to perfect it just understand it...I seem to be finding the wrong sources of info..
