UHF Bowtie 1

Antenna I designed and built for US channels 14-60 (470-752mHz). Width of the bowtie dipole is 16 inches, with a 60 degree flare angle. The wide dipole ranges from over a half wavelength at the lowest frequency, to nearly a full wavelength at the highest, giving it a remarkably uniform impedance around 250 ohms. Spacing to the reflector chosen to raise impedance to around 300 ohms. Reflector is sold at Target as a shelf for a modular storage system.
