    Whats New in the 19th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book?

    By R. Dean Straw, N6BV Senior Assistant Technical Editor, ARRL

    Dayton, May 2001

    Major Changes
    Nine chapters were greatly upgraded or even completely rewritten -- About 40% of the book changed materially. The material in the book + augmented software/data is available on CD-ROM also. I received tremendous help from the following contributors: Rudy Severns, N6LF -- Chap 8, Multielement Arrays Frank Witt, AI1H -- Chap 9, Broadband Antenna Matching LB Cebik, W4RNL -- Chap 10, LPDAs Kurt Andress, K7NV -- Chap 22, Antenna Supports

    Major Changes
    Here are some examples of the kind of changes youll find in the paper book. Youll find lots of comparisons of antennas thanks to the latest computer modeling software.

    Chap 5, Loops

    Comparing 16.2 wide loops at 14.2 MHz to dipole and ground plane.

    Chap 5, Loops

    A neat high-voltage trombone variable capacitor, made of 3/4 and 1/2 copper pipes and Teflon tape insulation.

    Chap 7, Multiband Antennas

    A really big Discone at W8NWF!

    Chap 8, Multielement Arrays

    Dipole compared to 2-, 3- and 4-element Collinear arrays

    Chap 10, LPDAs

    Adding a stub, retuned elements and a director

    Chap 12, Quad Arrays

    Comparing monoband 3-ele. quad and 4-ele. Yagi, 26 booms

    Chap 12, Quad Arrays

    Comparing monoband 5-ele. quad and 5-ele.Yagi, 26 booms -- More elements help!

    Chap 13, Long-wire and Traveling-Wave Antennas

    Comparing 5-wavelength Long-Wire to a 4-element Yagi and a dipole

    Chap 13, Long-wire and Traveling-Wave Antennas

    Comparing 3-wavelength terminated Rhombic to a 4-element Yagi and a dipole

    Chap 22, Antenna Supports

    Wind in the Yagis!

    Chap 22, Antenna Supports

    Chap 22, Antenna Supports

    Tram system schematic

    Software Included with the 19th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book Windows Software:
    TLW -- Transmission Line for Windows YW -- Yagis for Windows GeoClock (by Joe Ahlgren) Active Beacon Wizard (by Jim Tabor, KU5S)

    Software Included with the 19th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book

    Software Included with the 19th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book

    Software Included with the 19th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book DOS Software:
    YT -- Yagi Terrain analysis, with elevation-angle statistics for QTHs around the world SCALE for scaling Yagis to other frequencies/tapers AAT -- Analyze Antenna Tuner LPDA (by Roger Cox, WB0DGF) MOBILE (by Leon Braskamp, AA6GL) GAMMA

    Software Included with the 19th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book

    YT, Yagi Terrain analysis

    Software Included with the 19th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book YT and Elevation Statistics:
    Pete Smith, N4ZR, wrote an interesting article in Jan/Feb 2001 NCJ, entitled Scoring Your Antenna System. He described a metric for ranking stacked Yagis using YT as the computing engine. Pete speculated that the elevation-angle statistics provided with the Antenna Book might be too inclusive -- because they do cover all portions of the 11-year solar cycle.

    Elevation-Angle Statistics
