1\/4 Wave Antennas<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s crucial that you understand how quarter-wave <a href=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wireless-antenna-for-pc\/#more-5346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">antennas<\/a> operate to ensure you make the right decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, they rely on the principle of resonance for their operation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By design, they must have a length that is exactly equal to \u00bc the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wavelength\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">wavelength<\/a> of the signal they intend to transmit or receive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for the specific length is that it resonates at that value to capture or radiate electromagnetic waves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, they have ground planes that serve as reference points for the radiation pattern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ground planes can be radomes or conducting surfaces that provide reflective surfaces aiding the radiation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, they uniformly generate radiation patterns in all directions around the antenna axis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, they are suitable for mobile or radio communication, whereby the signals must travel in all directions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2
