I would like to built such antenna

01/17/2010 9:17 AM

for such antenna exists construction plan?I would like to built such antenna.

The type is VERTICAL HALF WAVE

Its use is broadcast to fm band 88-108MHz.

Thank for your time any help me valuable.

John Padelidakis.

If you are interested in building your own antenna search/join the ARRL website. then there's this:J-Pole Antenna by G. Forrest Cook

The band spread across the frequency range you have mentioned will cause any electrically fixed length antenna to produce some high signal to wave ratios (SWR) without constantly adjusting it to match your frequency. High SWR is not good for a transmitter of any type and can cause the transmitter final amps to deteriorate.

What frequencies are you expecting to transmit on and which are you expecting to receive on? For optimal receiving your best result will come from an antenna that is tuned to that frequency which is the same thing you need to do to keep the SWR low for transmitting.

Another factor in this is the amount of power you wish to transmit with. The antenna will need to be constructed with materials and a design sufficient to handle the power loads placed on it.

More complex details come into play when one considers the application for the antenna, Should it be directional, omni-directional, or have a pattern of X# degrees? Are you transmitting FM, AM, or SSB? What type of antennas (polorization) are used to receive your planned transmissions?

The earlier comment of going to the ARRL (Anature Radio Relay League) web site is a very good suggestion. I personally have built well over 200 antennas of various types for everything from AM, FM, SSB, Satelite, high and low power, mono poles, beams, log peridodics, quads, and so on goes the list. The AARRL has several great books on antenna theory and application.

I wish you the best with your project.

N9ZN,

Thanks. Sometimes it's difficult to coax (pardon the play on words) enough information out of the OP to know what they want. Perhaps they will come back, now that an expert has joined in.

johnsatellte probably has a channel frequency in mind. If not, he should; as physical dimensions will change as indicated by lynlynch (GA). RF power is of consideration, i.e. if he is thinking of 10KW or the like, this antenna is not suitable.

Too, he hopefully is knowledgeable of his country's regulation for broadcast.

It is possible that one or more mfr's do make a low-end similar antenna as he is looking for. He should google that; I didn't bother.

I used to make many of my HR antennas successfully. Today I find that there are mfr's where one can buy the same thing for a little more $$ than the materials costs.

Either way, I add the suggestion to use stainless steel hardware, and after proper tuning put a couple coats of acrylic (spray can) over all parts and you have much longevity service without problems.

It's amazing how many inquirers will not cite their locale, in addition to really what their aim is.

Forgot this item: Polarization. johnsatellte may have already made the determination that he's to broadcast in the vertical, so speak. Okay for automobiles and boom boxes and similar receivers. Generally commercial FM broadcast is acomplished with antennas that are both horiz. and vert. polarization.

important informations:

my transmitter is 300watt for this reason my antenna i want to have 300 400 watt power.

i would prefer to be broadband(wibeband) but that i known the antenna cut the length of the frequency which would be broadcast.Looking for a project with one(1) and only vertical element which will use for example in 102MHZ(FM BAND)

Something like this:

Any Help for me is valuable!

Your "Any Help for me is valuable!" reminds me reminds me of a sport that said something similar to assist him in designing and putting together a resolve for turning on-off remote landing lights from an aircraft. All this coming incrementally and it finally occurred to me. This is a damn drug deal. Turned them into the local NARC unit where he/they were busted.

Similarly, I get a severe gut feeling that what you are doing is likely clandestine, as you remain coy in this thread. You still maintain that you want broadband ("wibeband" not in any dictionary that I've found), but that antenna as otherwise been remarked upon is not and would be frequency dependent +/- 200 KHz or so. Wideband as I think you meant.

I do not apologize for being critical. If you desire answers, provide specific facts as to where you are going. If you are doing this outside the US: fine. You are on your own.

The CR4 editor provides you with a spell checker. Why not use it?

CR4 offers a wealth of excellent information from a grunch of professionals. You just need to be up front to obtain the best opinions. In an old school, but superceeds me, "Get Real".

johnsatellte:

As I said earlier, you should cite what country you are wanting to build and erect and be participant in with this FM broadcast station. I, for one, do not have any desire to aid an abet a 'pirate' radio station, at least in the continental U.S. This is what I get at this point. You remain coy and that bothers me.

AND, I value my earned FCC license.

Other responders here are also FCC licensed, and where they are aware of the ramifications.

If you are doing this in the US, I think that 10W unlicensed FM broadcast stations are allowed, but with antenna height limitation and not-to-interfere with other bonafide licensed broadcast service on any given frequency channel.

If you are in the US, and have a true FCC station application on file, then assert; else just bow out and disappear. If you are not to do this in the US, then whatever is on you.

Burma Shave, for those remember those road signs.

reside in GREECE and there is a license that allows you to broadcast to a particular frequency for a few hours of the day,

if that does not disturb neighbors televisions etc.as for your comment sorry if my english is not as well, 20 years have passed i learned.(i am 43old years)

Thanks,
