VI. ANTENNA PLAN

A.) Antenna characteristics, input impedance, polarity, height in wavelength, construction type
Radyo Sang Masa will be using an inverted vee antenna configuration due to the
limitations of space. An inverted vee antenna is a type of antenna wherein the two dipoles of the
sides are perpendicular to each other instead of parallel. It is used in areas with limited space
because of its properties that are able to reduce ground foot print of the antenna without
compromising performance. The gain of an inverted vee is similar to that of a dipole at the same
elevation because most of the radiation is from the high-current portion of the antenna. Antenna
modeling software bears this our for free-space models, predicting maximum gain of 2.15 dBi
for the dipole and 1.9 dBi for the inverted vee. When viewed from the side, the antenna looks
like an English letter V turned upside down, hence the name inverted vee. These antennas are
commonly used by amateur radio enthusiasts or stations, and on sailing vessels requiring better
HF performance. Typically, the inverted vee antenna requires only a single, tall support at the
center and the ends can be insulated and secured to anchors at or near ground level. This
arrangement are very advantageous when in a limited space.
