4-51 to 4-60 Methods of Feeding Energy to an Antenna Voltage and
current distribution for the half-wave antenna (shown in figure
4-16) is the same as that for the antenna discussed earlier in
this chapter. A point closely related to the voltage and current
distribution on an antenna is the method of feeding the
transmitter output to the antenna. The simplest method of
feeding energy to the half-wave antenna is to connect one end
through a capacitor to the final output stage of the
transmitter. This method is often called the END-FEED or
VOLTAGE-FEED method. In this method the antenna is fed at a
point of high voltage (the end). Figure 4-16.—St
