Variants Of Dipole Antenna

There is a variety of other important dipole antennas.

1. The bow-tie antenna is a dipole with flaring, triangular shaped arms. The shape gives it a much wider bandwidth than an ordinary dipole. It is widely used in UHF television antennas.
2. The G5RV Antenna is a dipole antenna with a symmetric feeder line, which also serves as impedance match for connecting it to a 50-ohm transceiver.
3. The Doublet Antenna is a dipole antenna with a resonant symmetric feeder line.
4. The Sloper antenna is a slanted dipole antenna used for long-range communications or in limited space.
5. The AS-2259 Antenna is an inverted-V dipole antenna used for NVIS communications.
