Les Moxon (G6XN) popularized a design originally theorized by Albert Stegen, which challenged the notion that performance must be sacrificed for size. The resulting antenna, known as the Moxon Rectangle, offers a unique blend of compact geometry, gain, and a broadband match, making it one of the most effective antennas for "all locations." 2.1 Geometric Configuration The Moxon Rectangle is a two-element parasitic array (or a driven element with reflectors, depending on configuration) arranged in a rectangular shape. Unlike a standard dipole which is linear, the Moxon bends the ends of the driven element and the reflector inward toward each other. A To Z Hollywood Hindi Dubbed Movies -exclusive - 3.79.94.248
HF Antennas for All Locations: The Moxon Rectangle SUBTITLE: A High-Performance, Space-Efficient Solution for Modern Amateur Radio AUTHOR: [Your Name/Call Sign] DATE: October 2023 Abstract As urbanization increases and available real estate for amateur radio stations decreases, the need for compact, high-performance High Frequency (HF) antennas has become critical. Traditional horizontal dipoles and Yagi-Uda arrays often require significant turning radiuses and real estate that many operators cannot afford. This paper explores the Moxon Rectangle as a superior alternative. By bending the ends of a dipole inward, the Moxon design achieves a significant reduction in wingspan (approximately 70% of a full dipole) while maintaining excellent gain and a distinct directional pattern. This paper details the theory, construction, performance characteristics, and practical applications of the Moxon antenna, proving its viability as a "hot" solution for restricted locations. 1. Introduction The "ideal" HF antenna has traditionally been viewed as a full-size half-wave dipole or a monoband Yagi. However, these antennas present a logistical challenge for operators living on small lots, in apartments, or in communities with strict Homeowners Association (HOA) covenants. -doodshare- Nikki Suka Gaya Wot06-59 | Min
For the home builder with limited space, constructing two Moxons (e.g., one for 20m and one for 15m) on the same boom with spreaders is a highly efficient way to cover the primary DX bands without the mechanical complexity of a triband Yagi. The Moxon Rectangle stands as a testament to innovative antenna design. It disproves the axiom that effective HF antennas require vast acreage. By combining the mechanical efficiency of a shortened wingspan with the electrical efficiency of a directional array, the Moxon provides a "hot" solution for the modern amateur.
