ANTENNA LOADING is the method used to change the electrical length of an antenna. This keeps
the antenna in resonance with the applied frequency. It is accomplished by inserting a variable inductor or
capacitor in series with the antenna.
A HALF-WAVE ANTENNA (Hertz) consists of two lengths of rod or tubing, each a quarter-wave
long at a certain frequency, which radiates a doughnut pattern.
