Many antennas of amateur radios are detachable, then customers can replace the higher gain antennas to extend the communication range according to their needs. However, the non-original high-gain antenna interface can't connect to our radio directly, or the antenna is too long to directly connect horizontally, we need to choose a suitable adapter to connect them. So, how to choose the right adapter?  ...

Antenna is a very important component of radios. The antennas primary function is to transmit and receive clear signals between multiple radios. It is safe to say that an efficient radios will require antennas to operate properly.  ...

We know that the shortest distance is straight line between two points. but it's often not simple when hams communicate with each other from around the world. Because it's not the shortest distance geographically if we connect two points directly on world map, we need to select the right direction of antenna to achieve the better communication effect. Especially for directional antennas, such as Yagi antennas. we must rely on the great circle Maps.  ...

Combiner is a words often mentioned by hams who uses multi-band radios, so what is a combiner? Why do we need to use a combiner? Let’s learn more about the combiner today.  ...

Balun is short for Balance To Unbalance Transformer. Balun can use to transmission between balanced and unbalanced, impedance transformation, and so on.There are current and voltage balun to select for us.  ...

Both the antenna analyzer and the standing wave meter can be used to test the standing wave of the antenna feeder system, but the functions and characteristics of them are also quite different. So, should we choose an antenna analyzer or a standing wave meter?  ...

Digital filter can effectively filter out the frequency point of a specific frequency or the frequency other than the frequency point and is a device or circuit that has a signal processing effect. It is equivalent to the "sieve" of frequency.  ...

As the most important receiving component of GPS module, GPS antenna is the main window of GPS to the outside world. Speaking of GPS antennas, we have to mention the active and passive antennas we often talk about. Do you know the difference of them? let's learn more together.  ...

After we complete , it needs to be debugged. The purpose of antenna debugging is to make the antenna system resonate at the transceiver frequency by trimming the length of the antenna element. Match the impedance of the antenna system with the transceiver impedance of the radio. Debugging generally uses standing wave meter, power meter or antenna analyzer.  ...

Let's talk about another important concept of the antenna: polarization.  ...
