00:01
In this example, i want to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of antenna configurations.
00:08
Okay, so there are quite a few different types of antennas, so i'm just going to make a little chart of a few types of antennas and their advantages and disadvantages.
00:19
Okay, so i'll have type and then i'll have pros, okay, and we'll have cons, okay.
00:39
So i'm going to talk about dipole antennas first.
00:45
Dipole, the pros of these on antennas are they are cheap and they have good gain.
00:52
Okay, so cheap or inexpensive, good gain.
01:01
Okay, and some cons of these dipole antennas are they're large at low frequency.
01:11
Okay, so large size at low frequency.
01:21
Okay, so that's our first type we're going to talk about.
01:25
Then we have loop antennas, okay, and some pros of those are they're cheap and they're not easily detuned.
01:38
Okay, so cheap, not easily detuned.
01:48
Okay, some disadvantages of loop antennas is poor gain and they're hard to tune.
01:55
Okay, poor gain and though they're hard to detune, they're also hard to tune originally.
02:08
Okay, and they have a very narrow band.
02:13
Okay, narrow band.
02:17
Okay, so that's the loop antenna.
02:22
All right, next let's talk about helical antennas.
02:25
Okay, so we have helical.
02:30
Okay, and they're very directable.
02:32
Okay, very directive, directable and good gain.
02:46
Okay, some cons of the helical antenna are they are bulky and large...
