What Are Vertical Antennas?
Vertical antennas are antennas where the main elements of the device are vertically oriented as opposed to horizontally. Additionally, the polarisation of the transmitted or broadcasted radio wave is also vertically polarised.
Vertical antennas are highly versatile and often an integral part of amateur radio setups. They’re used in a wide range of radio applications, including point-to-point radio, private radio, and mobile communications.
There are numerous kinds of vertical antennas, too, ranging from LF to HF, VHF, and more. This variety makes them a staple for numerous amateur radio enthusiasts, and they’re often favoured when horizontal options simply aren't applicable.
