2. Omnidirectional antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnidirectional_antenna

   Whip antenna on a walkie-talkie. In radio communication, an omnidirectional antenna is a class of antenna which radiates equal radio power in all directions perpendicular to an axis ( azimuthal directions), with power varying with angle to the axis ( elevation angle ), declining to zero on the axis. [1] [2] When graphed in three dimensions (see ...

3. Helical antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helical_antenna

   Helical antenna. Not to be confused with Spiral antenna. A helical antenna is an antenna consisting of one or more conducting wires wound in the form of a helix. A helical antenna made of one helical wire, the most common type, is called monofilar, while antennas with two or four wires in a helix are called bifilar, or quadrifilar, respectively.

4. Long-range Wi-Fi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_Wi-Fi

   Long-range Wi-Fi. Long-range Wi-Fi is used for low-cost, unregulated point-to-point computer network connections, as an alternative to other fixed wireless, cellular networks or satellite Internet access . Wi-Fi networks have a range that's limited by the frequency, transmission power, antenna type, the location they're used in, and the ...

5. WokFi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WokFi

   WokFi. WokFi (a portmanteau derived from blending the words Wok + Wi-Fi) is a slang term for a style of homemade Wi-Fi antenna consisting of a crude parabolic antenna made with a low-cost Asian kitchen wok, spider skimmer or similar household metallic dish. The dish forms a directional antenna which is pointed at the wireless access point ...

6. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   In radio systems, many different antenna types are used whose properties are especially crafted for particular applications. Most often, the greatest effect is due to the size of the radio waves the antenna is to intercept or produce; one competing second effect is differences in optimization for receiving and for transmitting; another competing influence is the number and bandwidth of the ...

7. Collinear antenna array - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collinear_antenna_array

   In telecommunications, a collinear antenna array (sometimes spelled colinear antenna array) is an array of dipole or quarter-wave antennas mounted in such a manner that the corresponding elements of each antenna are parallel and collinear; that is, they are located along a common axis. Collinear arrays are high gain omnidirectional antennas.
