| Zack, Thanks for your help. Can you further describe how a "traveling wave structure" achieves a broad operating bandwidth? Your help is appreciated. Wayne WB2LYL |

| Hi All, A BiCone Antenna is essentially a dipole antenna that has a very broad frequency bandwidth. The impedance of the BiCone Antenna is determined by the angle between the radiating elements. Technical descriptions of the BiCone Antenna state: "The biconical antenna has a broad bandwidth because it is an example of a travelling wave structure; the analysis for a theoretical infinite antenna resembles that of a transmission line. For an infinite antenna, the characteristic impedance at the point of connection is a function of the cone angle only and is independent of the frequency." Can someone help me understand what a traveling wave structure is? Thanks, Wayne - WB2LYL |
